Hey there...im new member to this forum, but have been riding and building for years now. I build old school 70's choppers and particpate in www.hondachopper.com regularly. Here though I need help with a 1982 GS850G. I bought this bike in excellent shape for $200. Came with Vance and Hines 4-1 exhaust and dint run. Well I found that if you actually use the correct ignition key the thing really does run....still havent told the guy I bought it from. 
anyway...its been sitting a few years so the carbs were dirty, but it ran. Only thing is that it literally throws a stream of gas out the pipe. I have cleaned the carbs and everything works fine, fires on all four when the plugs are dry enough. Timing and all of that is fine. Set the floats today and it still does it......while I had the carbs apart I noticed that it has 3 155 main jets and one 165 main....the book I have says its supposed to have 120.5 couldnt see what the idles said. Does anyone know what I should really be running? I screwed in the mixture screws all the way and backed out 1.5 turns and it still does it.
V/H 4-1 pipe, non adjustable style with baffe.
K&N pod filters
Everything else stock.
thanks
