[joshhoch]

yall have helpped me in the past and greatly appreciated it, after cleaning carbs from flooding and pouring fuel out on ground. finally got it started and stopped leaking. now my problem is when it runs it boggs down under load . if any one could help would be greatly appreciated. just gotthis bike few months ago and would like to ride again.\\/

Be sure you don't have any plug wires swapped. Don't ask me how I know this...

Syncing the carbs greatly helped the throttle response on my GS.

After you check the plug wires, pull the air filter(s) out and take it for a spin. Does it still bog down under load? Also, at what RPM is it bogging down?

pulled air filter out and started running fine found problem also with pitcock on is off. figure that one out. when i turn fuel on it acyually shuts fuel off. i have to run in reserve setting.

Not sure what you mean that on is off. The petcok is vacuum actuated and if the engine is not running, the there will be no gas flowing when the petcok is in the ON position. There is no OFF position. You have Reserve, On ,and Prime. Make sure you have the vacumm hose attached to the petcok.
