Another side note: Right now I have my Idle mixture screws all set out at 2 turns but its still running a tad rich. Should I keep screwing in or start looking other places to fix this problem. Thanks everyone.

Idle mixture screws and jerking
Hi guys. Just took my bike out for its time around the block after installing a Dyna S, and cleaning the Carbs the correct way. During my ride, the bike would have a problem accelerating to ~3000 RPM. Once it hit 3000 it would take off. What could be causing this?

Two turns out is too lean for a 550T, try 3 turns and see how it runs. If the bike is rich at 2 turns, there is some other problem.Ed

I'm glad you didn't add 'off' to the end of your title.
Popping usually is a lean sign. Do as Ed said and seal you air box and intake to head o-rings.
If this doesn't help you'll need to shim you jet needle. Remove plastic spacer at the end of the needle and replace with the same heigth of washers and remove two to three of them. This raises the needle and richens it.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

Take a look and you will understand. As chef Bill alludes, most GS's benefit from removing the plastic spacer on top of the clip and replacing with a washer stack which is roughly 1/2 the height of the spacer, which effectively raises the needle.
Good luck
Is this supposed to be here or do I need to patch it? Also, there was fuel residue in the plastic piece connecting the carbs to the airbox. I assume this is not a good sign, but what can I do to fix it?
