I just took apart and cleaned my carburetors on my 01 FZ1. Put it back together, started right up and idles fine but dies whenever I rev it up. Revs perfectly when I spray starter fluid into the air intake so must be starving for gas. Is it possible that I mixed up the jets when I reinstalled them or are the size/threads such that that is not possible?

First and foremost, check to see that you haven't kinked the gas line under the tank. That's a direct symptom of what your experiencing. I can't remember if two cylinders used one size jet while the other two used another but I doubt that would matter if your just revving it up. Check your fuel line first.
