1996 gsx 787 dual carb... When I accelerate from a stop, the ski revs to 7k normally, then boggs down to 5k or so for a few seconds, then picks back up to 7k and runs great. I fooled with the fuel adjustments, (I do have a lot of experience tuning carbs) but could not get it better. I went back to how I had it last summer, this is where it runs best. Last year I replaced all the fuel lines, fuel filter, and rebuilt the carbs. I put about 20 hours on it last year with 0 problems (has just under 100 hours). I just de-winterized it from last year. I had sta-bil in the gas. I'm already planning on draining the gas and adding new, along with new plugs. But, I figured I would ask to keep me ahead.
 
comp gauge is off or your leaking oil...clear it out, install new plugs and should run right.
 
This didn't help at all. it really only boggs under hard acceleration, and most often, it will not reaccelerate until I let the engine idle for a few seconds. But, it will run great wide open. I can only accelerate slow, otherwise it will bog, and even stall if I don't let off the throttle. Obviously a fuel problem, which sucks because I just rebuilt the carbs last year...
 
I should also add, after it stalled, I checked the plugs, both VERY white. I did multiple plug cops today, definately leaning out and stalling.
