Possible Carb Problem?

[oldsc442]

I have an 81 850GS belonged to my Dad who passed away. It has been sitting for a few years so I decided to get it on the road again. I have done the following:
New Battery
New Intake Boots and O-Rings
Complete Carb teardown
Changed the Oil
Reinstalled all items

Bike starts good idles fine, but when I try to accelarate it will try to rev up and then starts to die, Help Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

Do you have the factory air box and filter installed and sealed at all conections properly, if not it will lean out as soon os you try to come off idle, unless it has been rejetted. if you could be a little more spacific about the set-up your running it may help with diagnosis. when you say you did a complete carb teardown did you follow the carb rebiult process detailed on this web site?

More Info

Yes I followed the Carb rebuild on this site. I have the factory air box and filter installed. I believe all fittings are sealed.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Check to make sure that you are getting enough fuel flow also a contribiting factor could be your float heights but it would have to be pretty off for that to happen. Good luck

Make sure you didn't kink the fuel line under the tank.
Also check the flow from the petcock.
