Post 94 gsx600 fuel vent issue?

My Katana has much power for about 5 minutes of riding, then it begins to starve for fuel. When it starts to loose power, i open the fuel cap, while riding, and it regains it's power within seconds.

There is a vent hose coming from carb 1 and 4, and are both clear.

Vaccuum hoses look good. (have not used a vaccuum gauge however)

I have replaced the fuel cap.

All fuel delivery hoses seem to be fine

Petcock and screen are clean.

Does anyone have any GOOD ideas or suggestions that i might try? I'm stumped, and help would be greatly appreciated.
