82 gs 550 stalls after throttle just rebuilt carb

[Guest]

hey folks.
just did a carb rebuild based off the series here on the forum. after reinstalling, a new problem arrived. when out riding, the bike idles fine, runs well accelerating, then dies when the throttle is released. adjusted the clutch after limping home, tried it in neutral and the bike did the samething. cut off wen the throttle dropped. bike idles OK, runs well. with constant throttle and tries to hold one when i slowly let out the throttle when stopping but still dies. i dont even know where to start diagnosing this problem. this is my first experience with a carb I read the sticky about lean and I get the concept but I don’t know how to achieve the goal.

Is the airbox installed? Did you replace the carb boots, or at least the O-rings in them? Did you vacuum sync the carbs? Set the idle to 1100-1200 rpm?

The air box is completely stock I’m assuming the carb boots are those little rubber pieces leading from carb to intake? There was no print the got cleaned with warm water and reassembled no obvious damage and I have no idea what a vacuum synchronize is
