82 gs850 update wed night: woohoo!

If you've been following this is like day 13. After carbs (twice), battery, petcock, uni-filter, plugs, tank clean, and vent tube removal... (whew!) this BIKE RUNS like a SCREAMING CHICKEN!!!! Just around the neighbourhood but almost no hesitation with roll on in 4 gear. First is pullin the front end up and spinnin' that crusty old 130 in the rear. Wicked! This is absolutely a first for me. In the past, if I touched a carb, the next stop was the curb. Thanks all who guided me through for current and PAST posts and that great carb clean series!

Mike, I'm going through all that frustration right now... I finally got my electrical straight, now I find I only have two carbs delivering fuel! Sometimes I get the feeling there will be snow on the ground before I get this thing hooked up....

Hehe, I know what you mean. Fortunatly I think my carbs are delivering fuel, but I ma having problems hooking the choke back up so I don't have to use it manually and getting the hard to start in the cold problem worked out.
