GS550L out of storage

Sorry about the blank video at the beginning, I didn't check the decoder output before uploading.

This is where I am after 1 hour of work on a 1982 suzuki GS505L with only 8,100 miles that hasn't been started in over 2 years.
First it ran off starter fluid, and sounded good, so I progresssed to a small amount of fresh gas, before i put the tank back out to see how much crap i could clear outta the carbs by letting it run choked for ~20 minutes.

After this, It was running and not stalling with throttle inputs, and seemed to rev well to at least 6k...if not a little slow on throttle response...but would stall instead of idle.

Now that I know this was a pretty good $400 investment and will be cleaning the carbs completely very soon.

could you possibly tell me how to adjust the idle settings on the carbs. I was told that i need to drill out the top of something to do so. Any idea?
