Thought you wrote that you bought "new" carbs, Nate. Evidently you mean that you replaced your old carbs with better old carbs. Follow Skull's advice and return to original jetting. While you're replacing PJ's and MJ's, have a look at the pilot air jet in the back of the intake bell and be sure that's right as well--and no, I won't give you a number, click on "Tech" and click the link to the XS650 Garage Carb Guide. Also examine the needle jets and jet needles (and no, I'm not talking about the float valve seat and needle). They're the primary metering elements in the cruising range, and are often the cause of excessive fuel consumption when worn or damaged by aggressive cleaning.
