    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...

    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.

GS750T powertrain inconsistances

I have purchased an 1982 GS750T recently with 22k miles registered on the speedo. The bike ran general well until approx. 10 to 15 min into the ride, normal operating temperature. The idle progressively got worst to a point where as I had to keep reving the engine to keep it running, and at take-off, literally wanted to take-off or stall. If that was not enough, fuel started to spew out of every joint in the exhaust system. I assumed that the carbs needed some work, thus, the carbs have been redone, syncronized and had a tune up done on the bike. They did a compression test as well, compression is as per factury specifications.
I took the bike out for a run this morning, the bike runs very well, very strong, the triottle response was incredible..........but when the bike reached normal operating temperature, it pretty much did the same thing, except for the fuel spewing out.
At this point, I'm thinking that this delemma could be gererated by timing or related, or that I have purchased a very nice anchour for a boat.
I would appreciate any advise or words of wisdom.

thanks

Are all your plugs sparking when at operating temperature?

It would seem that all four are firing......there's no smoke blowing out the exhaust.......?
 
what are the condition of your carb boots they may be leaking when the engine gets up to temp but are tight when cold :idea:

The carb boots are in really good condition, and when assembled, I was very cautious to ensure proper seating.
I'm thinking that it may very well be an electronic detail, related to the spark plugs........wrong plugs? or maybe there is something wrong with the spark modulator/controller?
