Ok I'll give as much information as I can. I have a 1980 gs850g it has a stage 3 jet kit from dynojet and the crossover pipe is gone, it also has pod filters on it and a custom exhaust. Cylinder 3 is burning rich. Can someone give me an idea why? on a side note can someone give me an idea how to post pictures because it might give you a better idea on how to diagnose the problem.

Under what circumstances does #3 look rich? At idle? Half throttle? Full throttle?
You need to do some testing by using Plug Chops. (<-- click link)

The plug Is black at idle and after runing it down the road for about 5 miles at various speeds. Thanks for the links.Comment

Usually on that model, it's CV carbs and #2 that runs rich. Second from the left.
Or are you in a country that still got the VM carbs in 1980?Comment

I have the cv carbs if it helps it was a wet black not a dry black. Does that mean anything?Comment
