    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After it is warmed up.

Hi! New to this forum, and this is my first tread.:)
I have a 1978 GS750E.
Just had the carbs synced and jetted.
Problem as best I can describe is-
Bike starts great, let it warm up a few minutes, Go riding everything is good. After about 15/20 minutes the bike gives me a lot of trouble from a stop, wants to stall. Once you get in to it, it's fine. When I come to a stop and rev the engine on the way down it almost stall's. Could this be the head gasket starting to go bad?
I ask because when the guy who put in the valve cover gasket was cleaning the engine it stalled when he sprayed degreaser in that area.
 
Have you pulled the plugs to have a look? :-s Sounds like the bike was over jetted from what you describe ie. getting too much fuel. :o
 
Yeah, if I'm remembering correctly idle rising when warm is lean, idle dropping is rich.

Depending too... a rich pilot setting will cause the idle to drop below desired RPM on a blip...but then it will slowly, if left sitting, rise to above desired RPM.... "Signing off" between shifts, or upon slowing to a stop is a sign of richness..
 
The mods that were done- 4 into 1, and I'm told it has carbs from a Kawasaki. When I come to a stop it does idle fine. If I twist the throttle slowly (at a stop) it revs up fine and revs down fine. If I twist a bit faster it will bog a bit, but still rev up, and when it revs down it will almost die but will regain idle. It does none of this when I first start riding, only after about 15 minutes of riding. Could it be over heating?

Sorry it took so long to respond.:o
 
Not necessarily overheating, but I wonder what carbs were used from a Kaw?

Not saying that they won't work, but there are differences in the carbs from one make to another that make them work differently.

Since they are different carbs, any jetting suggestions you receive here might not work.
The overwhelming majority of us still have stock carbs, so we know what works with them.
When you start throwing in some unknown stuff, all bets are off. :o

They are Mikuni carbs, I thought they were original but a trained eye told me other wise. I would love to but back original carbs but wouldn't know were to begin with that. The bike does run good once you get her rolling
