carb jet/pod question

[Sparky]

just curious for now, on my 80 gs1000gl if running just pods and stock pipes what kind of jets should I be looking at? Do I need mains and pilots? Any other changes?

Thanks.

Depending on the quality of the pods you choose, maybe 3 or 4 sizes larger on the main jets.

Pilots should be OK, but you might have to turn the mixture screw out a bit more.

Definitely will have to shim the needles to raise them, though.

I'd go about 12 to 15% over on the mainjets. So a 120 becomes a 135 or 140 - order both to save messing around. Coincidentally, thats the 3rd and 4th size over. Yes, you will have to mess with the mixture screws. Just get the bike idling and then adjust the screws until you get the smoothest running and best throttle response. Not too hard really. Tried all this on my '85 850G and it absolutely flew afterwards.
