    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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

I have a similar issue. My sig is my bike. If I slightly give it throttle, it bogs just a tiny bit, then clears up instantly and I let out in first with no problems. It's just if I were to let out and give it tiny throttle at the same time, it would bog a bit then clear right up. Right now my mixture screws are about 2.5 turns out. Popping on decal a bit but when looking at the plugs they aren't that brownish color on the tips, more of a dark/blackish look. I'll probably put mine back to 3 turns. Once I let out though, it runs like it has no problems. Sorry to bump but I have a similar situation. Thanks in advance.
 
1975 suzuki gs750 have pod pilters and the mufflers are off looking to get it just to run good
 
More air = more fuel.
You need to bump the main jet and raise the needle jet.
There are also air and fuel adjustments on the VM carbs for the pilot circuit.

how do i do either of those

I'm a CV guy but there will be some VM experts that can tell you. All I know is that you can replace the main jet in the float bowl, there is an air screw on the side of the carb and a fuel screw underneith?
