You stated the "Jetting is on from what I can tell, no pinning, spark plug look good" From the way the bike is running I can't see how you can tell is the jetting is correct. May need better information about the problem. Float level would be high on my list of things to check. Just a quick tip: These 500's take a while to come up to temp and to clear their throat. My bike needed at least 5mintues or more of slower riding to get the engine up to temp and then it started making power.

i just started my 89 after sitting for 3 or 4 weeks,stared pretty good putted around the back yard good but every time i nailed it a lot of blubbering. even after all warmed up no better. put it on the lift,took the carb off,held it up level to take 4 screws off bowl and as soon as the last screw was loosened gas came out. float was sticking bowl was full.good luck.
