At first startup the carbs flooded and the engine wouldn't run properly. I then dissasembled the carbs and did a thorough clean, set the floats to 22mm and tested the diaphragmes. I also changed the spark plugs and checked the intake boots for leaks. Now I can get it to idle fine but when the throttle is engaged it runs bad. I've uploaded a video on youtube so you can see and hear what the problem is.

1982 GS550M running bad(video link)
I've recently bought a Katana that has been unused since 2001.

The airbox makes all the difference. You'll have to remove the carbs to put the airbox back in first.79 GS1000S
