What do you mean leading axel forks. As said before I have not the slightest if this thing is actually a "complete E" that's what the title says. As for the forks, well the crossover I have is broken. Stupidest design ever!
 



here she is fellas! Almost complete. Gotta slap the carbs back on after I powder coat them and pray like hell I got the wiring correct. Let me know what you guys think!
 
Looks great! Good luck with the wiring, it can be a pain and I know you made changes from stock, which can complicate or simplify things, depending... Did you bench sync the carbs?

I rebuilt the wiring harness. I drew a schematic before I took it apart too. The PO had it all jacked up. So with the stock wiring guide and some eff this and mother effer that I hope it's right. The carbs are synced but I was told by another GSer to not use the stock jetting because I am running pods and after market exhaust. So I was going to ask around and do more research on it. Any input would be great!
 
Sounds like you're all over the wiring - but yes you may have some eff this and eff thats with it anyway.

Yes definitely not going to be stock jetting with the pods and pipe but other than my Kerker, all my pipes are stock and all my bikes run stock air boxes. I'll glean what I can from this forum when I tackle my 78 750 as it was already all hacked up when I got it.
 
Anyone have carb kit recommendations for my bike with pods and exhaust?
 
Ok GS geniuses so I can't get this thing to stay running longer than 30 seconds and has an extremely high idle here's a list of **** I have already done. I can't get it to crank over without cheater fluid (starting fluid). Small spray on the pods and it cranks right up but idles high and dies after about 30 seconds or as soon as I touch the throttle. And I'm using the choke to start. Idle screw is completely unscrewed (because of high idling).

1 Cleaned carbs completely
2 installed dynajet carb kit stage 3 for pods and exhaust
3 installed new plugs
4 installed pods
5 checked for good spark
6 bench synced carbs (I can't sync any more until it's running right?)
7 checked fuel and using clean gas

Any help would be really appreciated. thanks guys.
 
I'd say when you bench synced it you put the butterflies too far open. Try closing up the sync screws.
 
I will give that a shot. any idea what the rubber plugs are that go into the pilot jet carbs? It doesn't seem right to me, it seems like it would block off the fuel flow to the pilot jets. any idea how to best bench sync the carbs? i used the needle method and stated with carb 2 to 3 then 1 to 2 and then 3 to 4 for the bench sync. Wouldn't this stay running though after it was started? It seems to me that the engine is getting to much air or not enough spark...I need help here. any advice is much appreciated.
 
I used the needle method to do the bench sync, is there a better way? and does anyone know the point of putting this rubber plug thing into the port for the pilot jet?

Jake,A list:
Make sure you have the 1-4 and 2-3 wires correct to the coils.

Make sure you have good voltage to the coils.(over 11:00V with just key on).
Make sure pods are installed, that will make things difficult otherwise.
All four plugs sparking to frame?


Gas to carbs (on prime)
See if a little little bit of starting fluid will help if.the battery is down; does it crank fast?.
I'm on the road and only have a little time.
Jim
