Carb trouble

[Anonymous]

Hello, I just got a 83 gs1100e. Changed the oil and put in fresh gas, drained the fuel bowls. The bike has been sitting for along time with little use. The rectifier plug melted and the guy parked it. I have determined that the rectifier is bad, but the stator is good, but the problem is that the bike would only run if the choke was fully on, and when you gave it throtal it would just die. I have the oem air box and filter installed. So I decided to remove the carboraters. I found that the slides were stuck in the jets with a glaze of old varnish. I cleaned them up and blew out all the orfises, and put the carbs. back on, installed the factory airbox, airfilter, ect. everything is in excellent condition. Now the bike will only idle if the choke is on, but now I do have a high-end throtal. When you give it throtal is acts like nothing happens and then BAM! (hang on) I'm new to these type of carbs. The low cercuit is plugged, I'm assuming. Can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks
Jeff

P.S. I'm going to post pictures of the bike soon.

Yep, you got it right, there are several tiny fuel jets just behind the throttle butterfly, they can be very dificult to get clean

What should I clean the carbs with? They are painted black. I used WD40 the last time but must not cleaned it good enough. Thanks Jeff

carb dip and carb spray as recomended in the carb clean up series(http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm) will do the job very nicely, if you are going that far you mine as well buy new o rings for it to for 15 dollars. (http://home.att.net/~robert.barr/#Outside%20of%20the)
