I finally got inpatient and bought new carbs on ebay.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/09-Suzuki-GS500F-GS500-500-CARBURETOR-CARB-CARBS-/190811583313?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=eFDiBw5PVG6UTKR%252FJuUzllHgoUU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I guess we'll see if it acts different or not?

The carbs came, I installed them...







Runs like a brand new bike. I now have to choke it when cold, then as it warms up I can slowly take away choke, just as you'd expect. It then settles to a perfect 1200rpm idle.   Anyone want the old carbs for REALLY cheap?  $10 plus actual shipping?

You got a smoking deal.  I would have bought that bike without hesitation.

My bet is that the valves are out of spec.  Were you careful to check for the little rubber o-rings in the carbs?
