New to the site and have recently received a 1979 GS850 and have been doing my best to get it road worthy again. I'm worried it might be running lean. The bike has new K&N filters and no stock air cleaner. Along with some kind of weird 4-1 two piece exhaust that has been painted black with has no baffle. The bike seems to run well for setting over a year. Also whoever had it before seems to have maintained it because the petcock looks good and plugs were new. Plus the carbs look to have been dissembled before. I plan to use it as is but would like to know if the current setup is unrecommended because it could be running lean?

What jets are inside the carbs? That's the only way to know if it has been appropriately jetted.Ed
To measure is to know.

Your setup will work, but not with stock jetting.
