    throttling fun

    So my '80 850G came to me sans airbox but with pods, and when I pulled the carbs for dipping and o-ring replacement (thanks a ton Mr Barr), I noticed the main jets said 130 so I presume the PO did a rejet on the carbs previously.

    Bike idles fine, and running up to about 3-4K rpm with just partial throttle works fine. If you crack it open a bit more, it stumbles, but grabbing a handful of throttle causes it to take off like the big bad zuki it is. I'm wondering if I need to raise the needles on the carbs, since I'm guessing it's leaning out when you give it 1/8-1/4 throttle and then when you grab more it finally pulls enough fuel through the emulsion tubes to correct that and takes off.

    Just figured I'd toss this out to the collective wisdom of those who have been there and done that to see if this makes sense.

    I believe you are correct, I think raising the needles is the standard prescription for this.
