Gs650 carb issue

[kevmalvarez]

hey guys, i recently inherited a 1982 GS650gl from my dad and got it running. however when i stored it this past winter i think some rust from the fuel tank got in the carbs and jammed the float because now gas just pours out of the overflow and is also in the airbox. having never worked on anything with more than one carburetor, what is the correct way to pull these things? and also i heard something about having to sync them when you put them back in? please enlighten me with wisdom because i'm a bit stuck at the moment. thanks
