I have a 1982 GS450T and the bike will idle, but when I throttle up it bogs down and stalls. The bike hasn't been started for years and there was gas in the tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Craig

Rinse out the old gas from the tank. Follow this http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm
Buy these http://www.cycleorings.com/
And get a new petcock. Don't even mess with the old one.
When you get it running run it for awhile and do a compression check and post the numbers.
Do a check of the charging system with the stator papers http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_garage.htm
Clean all the grounds and use dielectric grease on all connections.

chef1366, I thought after reading some of the other post that I'm going to have to do the 0 rings. I appreciated the response. Thanks Craig

The carbs will eventually bite you in the rear.
The carbs will eventually bite you in the rear.
I too had this as my first project bike that had been sitting for over 5 years with gas in it. Only had 19,000 miles. New battery and gas and got it running. This to see if it was worth restoring or just part it out?
I thought I got it cleaned out and the bowls rinsed with carb cleaner but after a couple months of steady riding gas suddenly started running out one vent hose onto the exhaust....stuck float. I replaced the petcock and hoses too as they were shot. Put an inline filter on the gas line.
The carb bowls were filled with what I will call "green snot" so I was amazed that it ran so well for so long. After a thorough cleaning it ran well until I sold it and moved on to a bigger bike
