    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    I looked at the choke cable and it is tight. How do I loosen it because it is totally screwed in at the carbs?

    What manual do you have? Will the right size jets in the wrong carb bodies make it run bad?

    Why do you think it is running so rich with the stock jet sizes? What changed?

    Yes the filter is new. The rubber plugs are new aswell.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    Guys the bike still runs very rich. The carbs are clean and I set the mixture screw and adjusted them but still nothing. What if I increase the air flow? Perhaps the airbox is restricting the air flow somewhere. The air inlet is pushing against the wiring harness.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    Thanks I will use the sticky. I would rather buy all the parts and build my own aux tank. I think that Im going to buy a carb sync as well. Any specific brand?

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    The tank is not very clean inside. I installed an inline fuel filter to help with it till I can get the right product to clean the tank. I cant believe that I forgot to set the idle mix screws to 2,5 turns out. I used the idle adjust knob just to get it idling to see if it still leaked. I hope...

    The great thing is that they did not leak fuel when I started the bike.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    After I cleaned the carbs and put them back together, I installed them and put everything back, then after all that I forgot to set the idle mixture screw. So now I dont have the time to take the tank off and will only get the chance on friday. What an idiot:p

    The carbs are all apart. The choke plungers is still attached. Can I start cleaning it with carb cleaner or do I have to remove them?

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    I just held the carbs upside down so the valve would shut and the did. I couldn't get any air through.

    I turn the carbs on its side and fuel came pouring out of the 2 vents.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    I removed the carbs. I tried blowing through the fuel pipe with the carbs upright and it spit fuel on my through the airbox side of the carb. Fuel is also coming out of the 2 vent pipe between carb 1 and 2 , and 3 and 4. The needle valve is not shutting off.
