    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.

in order to start my gs750, i need to spray the carb. after i get it started, i need to give it some throttle until it warms up. then, until it really warms up, i sometimes get a little hesitation at 3/4 throttle. i was thinking about getting the carb looked at, cleaned and adjusted if need be. does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the problem before i take it in for something i may not need? or for that matter, does anyone know what i should have checked out when i take it in? thanks in advance!!
 
Also check your spark!

Clean connectors everywhere. I was having a weak spark problem due to corrosion that went away when i cleaned the connectors at the coils, but before I did this, I needed to use spray in the carbs a lot.
 
carbs...

sounds like your choke tubes as well as your pilot jets are clogged...

you can clean them yourself and save yourself 200-350$$
 
thanks, I'm going check all my connectors this weekend. I did take it to work this morning, and it just didn't have the power, or would studder everytime it hit 4,000 rpms. Eventually I'm going to need to replace the gaskets since I also noticed that I'm leaking oil.
