Bike running lean? GS850

There are only so many things that can cause your problem. It has to be something previously mentioned.
Have you tried running the bike at 3-4.5K with the petcock on "prime"?
Also, are your two floatbowl vent tubes clear and not kinked?

Yes to both questions.

I did find an anomally in the fuel line which was not readily apparent. When the tank was off everything looked fine, however when we installed the tank in a tucked away corner, the fuel line was kinking. I rerouted the line. I wasn't able to test fully last night, but it appears like it has helped. I might still have minor adjustment on the mixture screws but I am crossing my fingers.

Hope that's it! Let us know.

Still cautiously optimistic....bike ran excellent again today. No stumbling at all.

Now all I need is an exhaust, left side cover and a self-cancelling turn signal module. Exhaust I have welded up for now but really needs to be replaced. The side cover was lost on the first run after the engine repair. The Self-cancelling...I can live without!
