    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.

gs 750 problem!!! carbs? battery? confused

  • Thread starter Thread starter Master077

I pulled my carbs out and re cleaned them. Then I cleaned my gas tank. There was a lot of rust. I also fixed some burnt out wires.
 
I lied, now my bike doesn't want to start. This is driving me crazy. Any ideas anyone? ?
 
Does it crank well or is the battery weak? What is the voltage at the coils when cranking? Did you check the charging system?
 
It cranks good. The battery is only 3 weeks old. According to the stator papers the charging system is good. I haven't check the voltage at the coils while cranking. I will do that when I get home. The voltage at the coils with the bike on but now running is 12.1. What should the voltage at the coils be with the starter engaged?
 
The coils read 10.5 volts with the bike non running. When I crank the bike it drops down 2-4 volts. After cranking the bike the coils will read .01 volts which I think is really weird. The battery will read a little over 10 volts while cranking. I think I will do the coil relay mod.
 
Ideally, the voltage at the coil (on the terminal with the orange/white wire) will be the same as the battery voltage under any circumstances. Some loss is acceptable, but probably not more than a volt or so.

If your battery is only reading 10 volts while cranking, it needs to be charged or replaced.
