Bogging down instead of accelling

[Guest]

1980 GS750L. Been having issues with carbs getting flooded originally because what we thought was the petcock. Replaced petcock. Same issue was there. Goes alright in first, but as soon as you try to give it gas and get moving in 2nd, it bogs down, like its flooding out or something. Opened up the carbs and found the o rings on the seats for the float valve stems were done for, replaced with new seats and valve stems, still same issue. Also put aftermarket pod air filters, this may not help because of my air to fuel mixture. Everything else in the carbs seemed to be fully functional. I've also heard someone suggest it could be a piston ring, but to me, the symptoms don't really match up. Any suggestions on what could be stopping my GS from moving like it use to!?

Thanks for any help!!!

"....what could be stopping my GS from moving like it use to!?"

So it used to run fine (or just sorta OK ??) you replaced petcock and float needle seats/oring, and then decided to go for pods?

still got the rubber plugs over pilot jets? What brand of pods? Cheapies let in too much air for stock jetting
