In my experience re-building my carbs the simple solution was to clean the slides with spray carb cleaner, and also clean the bore they rest in. Do not !!!! spray any WD40 or other lubricant it will only gum it up and keep it in the wide open position.
Hope this helps.

Yes they should. Check the springs in the top are matching.. you could swap two around to double check if that's the issue. I would think it's likely to be varnish on the slides that's the problem.
You could also try swapping slides from bore to bore to see if you can find one that it slides better in... I've done that before. Tolerances I assume. You can mark a number on the slide with a black marker pen if you want to keep track of where they originally came from - won't do it any harm, I've done that too.....

Thanks Dan I will try swapping the springs around and the slides also to see if I can work out the differences by process of elimination. thanks

carb cleaner on a piece of cloth and a bit of rubbing on the piston and bore should hopefully see you right, unless theres some deformation on the slideGS850GT
