    Carb issue

    I believe my carb may be running rich, either that or my idle is off. What is the typical idle for a 1982 GS850G? Thanks for any help I get.

    Should idle something around 1000 RPM, there's a big screw with a big knob on it under the middle of the rack of carbs to adjust idle speed.

          What do your spark plugs look like?

            First label the spark plugs 1 through 4 and take a good macro picture of them and post them. Use photobucket of a pic server of the like.
