VM Carb question.

79 GS1000S

VM Carbs, Synched with mercury gauges.

I'm not much on carbs, so could use some help. Bike starts fine idles pretty good( hunts a bit) runs fine at most any throttle position. The problem is sitting at idle, if i give it the slightest , and I do mean slightest, throttle it just dies, no sputter/cough, just stops.I'm talking about just basically resting your finger tips on the throttle grip, not grabbing a handful. I can get by that, and keep the revs above idle at stop lights so it doesn't stop, when I apply throttle from idle. Any ideas? Thanks.

Larger jets installed for the pods and pipe?

What are the fuel screw (bottom of the carbs) and air screw (side of the carbs) settings?

You say idles good, is that at startup? After it is warm is it idling at a lower rpm. Idle should be set after bike as warm.

Idle is pretty good hot or cold.

What idle speed do you have it set at?
Should be 1100-1200
