first one is when im riding my bike you cant feel the powerband kick in at all but it has tons of power through all the gears. any ideas on what it could be
the second one is when i go to start my bike for the first time of the day i have to pick the front end up in the air until gas starts coming out of the carb but after that it starts first kick until it sits for about 5 or 6 hours

Just a shot in the dark but do you have excess fuel line i.e. are there many bends where an air bubble could get caught? Could be barking up the wrong tree but its worth looking.
 
check the float tang where it rides against the carb body posts, once i found a groove had formed and was casuing the floats to stick, filed the groove flat on that cast aluminum post and all was fine
