Ok - 1980 GL1100 reburb going well - engine started after 3-1/2 months out of the frame and sounds very, very sweet. The old mufflers were rusted out, replaced with a gently used muffler from a 1982 Arizona bike (nod of thanks to Frenchy @Crescent Moon). However, it seems that the change in back pressure is causing the carbs to run rich - the bike idles just fine, but give just a little throttle and it quickly bogs - you can hear it if you are listening.
So, the question - is there any adjustment possible? Or do I need to rejet?
Thanks in advance...
