Hey guys, fairly inexperienced rider and wrench turner here with a bit of a problem on my 85 GS700ES. I just rebuilt my carbs and rejetted for the pipe and pods that the PO put on. As soon as I fire the bike up, it starts strong, and I let it sit and warm up so that I can tweak the idle speed. This is where the problem comes in. As soon as I start to turn the idle speed down, the engine starts to bog and runs like crap. If I continue to lower the rpm's, it will struggle to the point where I have to give it about 1/8 turn of throttle to prevent the engine dying and gas starts dripping pretty quickly from the far left pod.
I've already checked the floats, they all move properly and I've dunked them all in water to check for holes. All of the float needles are new, so there shouldn't be any grooves. For jets, I went from 122.5 to 127.5 main jets and 37.5 to 40.0 pilot jets. The only thing I can think of left to check would be the petcock, but I've come here open to suggestions.
