Check to make sure all fuel lines are hooked up correctly and maybe take the tank petcock out and clean it. Also triple check the air/fuel screws

Checked all that and replaced the inline filter( doesn't have the filter screen in the tank due to previous owner) and didn't change at all. Has a brand new air filter as well.

Might sound dumb but is fuel getting to the carbs? Kinked lines? Does the bike crank?

I hate to say it but you may want to just take out the carbs and take them apart. A good thorough inspection may help you find something that you may have missed..Is there any one on here that hasn't had carb/fuel issues with our bikes.

Getting plenty of fuel, running very rich and happy at idle. If you open the throttle it starts chugging and dies. Fuel lines are brand new and verified positions. Even tried prime only to isolate the problem. Building a lot of carbon in the cylinders trying to figure it out. Carbs have been completely dismantled 3 times since the issue arose. I'm lost!!!

Okay so time to update since it has been a while since I have been on here. I finally had enough of the Mikuni carbs that came on my GS so I got a set of Keihen carbs from a Ninja 500 and made an adapter plate for them. Ordered up a set of controls since Ninjas have 2 cables and the bike runs great now. I relocated the rear brake reservoir under the gas tank and have K&N pods instead of the factory airbox. I still have some mods to do to the undertail exhaust. That should be done this weekend and then I just need to replace the tires and have fun for the rest of the season. This winter I will be repainting the fairings that I got earlier this year. So many projects to finish but it has come so very far this year. Enjoy the pics of the latest mods and more to come.
