Over revving at random

[voughtcorsair]

Good morning,

Just picked up my '02 GS500 a week ago and she's been having nothing but problems. At first, she wouldn't start (charged battery) then would stall almost immediately at idle (cleaned carbs, put floats as high as possible,) and now it over-revs at random - talking a random climb to 6-7k RPM in first/second gear without touching the throttle. Idles really high (hangs?) and then will slowly come down in RPM. Seems like some kind of leak. Ordered new gaskets for the bowl since those were disintegrating & today will be readjusting throttle cable and setting floats to 14mm. Any other things to check on if those ideas don't work? I just wanna ride this thing before it gets too cold! Thanks in advance for any help
