    Running rough and high idle after winter storage

    Hopefully someone can give me a few pointers. Just started my 81 GS1000L after winter storage (carbs were dry) and the engine is reving @3K and will not drop back and is difficult to start..It was running normal prior to storage.

    I did replace the OEM handle bars with a low type over the winter but I can't see any cable binding and throttle/cable movement seems normal. I plan on replacing the cable with a shorter version as soon as I find one.The choke cable/linkage also appears normal.What have I done wrong oram I overlooking something.This bike always started normal with full choke so I don't really know where to start.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated !!
