Anyway, I spent the last hour trying to put the old air box back on. What a pain in the ass... Maybe my carb boots are at the wrong angle which is making this worse than it should be? Anyone have any advice? My 82 8-valve is entirely different.

So I just bought a chain drive 1982 gs1100 with the 16 valve motor. I got it for $700, which seemed like a fair enough deal to me. It seems that this thing is running way lean since it has pod filters and a 4-1 exhaust.

The exhaust that is on the bike now looks like hell, its heavily covered in rust and I don't really feel like jetting the carbs. If I start modding it, I'll have a built turbo motor before I know it and that's not what I bought the bike for. Although, If I could find a turbo manifold under $1000, Id probably make a custom kit...

Finally got that damned airbox on on there, what a terrible design. Anyway I took her down the road and she seemed to run good except for the slipping clutch. I'll have to pick up some clutch springs and that should take care of that. I think I might be running lean still too.
With a stock air box and 4-1, how many turns do you usually rotate the mix screws from seated?

Otherwise, your left arm will end up looking like Popeye's.

You might find that they end up around 2 or 2 1/2, but it starts easily at 3, making for easier tuning.

Yeah, the one that you actually had to remove the engine first.
