    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.

1982 gs750t. I just cleaned my carbs. I dipped them for 8 hours each, i cleaned every hole with a wire. I set the air screws to 2.5 each. The bike doesn't want to start. I finally got the bike started and it wants to ideal at 4k. When I add throttle in short burst it will rev up. If I keep the throttle on it will die. I got the battery tested and it's good. What should I do?
 
Did it start, run and idle normally before you cleaned the carbs? Did you disassemble the carbs COMPLETELY? Did you replace all the rubber "O" rings in the carbs?
 
double check you have cleaned the carbs properly AND reassembled them correctly,make sure the float bowls are filling with fuel, and,make sure you have no air leaks
 
I see you posted a week ago about low voltage at your coils, did you get that fixed?
 
I took the carbs off because the bike would not start. Before this problem the bike would idle perfect. I replaced all off the orings.
 
I did a coil relay mod and now I am getting 11 volts at coils when starting bike. I also installed new spark plugs
 
Did you do a near perfect bench synch on the carbs? or better yet have you had them vacuumed synched?
 
Doesn't want to start??? when you cleaned the carbs did you pay attention to "choke" circuit passages ? if it takes off to 4k, maybe the "choke" is sticking open -check cable for proper adjustment
 
I did a bench sync. I used a safety pin to make sure they were all the same. Could I of sync the carbs to open? I got the orings from cycle orings .com
 
try turning the idle screw down, until it idles at a reasonable speed. it may start better then as well
 
I double checked the choke passages. Maybe I missed something
 
I just checked the idle screw. I unscrewed the idle screw and nothing changed. If I apply choke it idles at 6k
 
I didn't put the air box back on yet. That might effect the throttle? !

Yeah, put the air box back in and the filter. With the air box and filter missing, there is no way the bike is gonna run right. Like others have said here, NO air leaks, meaning the rubbers boots and clamps are all good and sealed as well as the air box system.
 
Just did a valve adjustment. I found a couple tight valves but nothing to bad. Now time to wait for the new gasket to arrive
 
When you do a valve adjustment should I adjust the valves to the higher end of the spec range?

Good plan! I aim for high end (or even above!) figuring that it will get smaller as I get older. No rude replies needed!
