Hi Mr. robs750,

The 1980 GS750 has electronic ignition, no points. I don't know the valve timing procedure off the top of my head, but you can look it up in the manual (download from my website, there are a couple of 16 valve 750 manuals). You'll also find charts, specs, carb clean-up tutorials, etc, on my little website. Please help yourself. Read your "mega-welcome". It also contains lots of useful facts and material.

Anyway, let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Spray a little fuel in there and see if it'll fire.

Look at the wiring diagram in the service manual
 
i have been,Does the petcock have to have vacuum to it to let fuel to the carbs How does that system work
 
Yes, the stock petcocks are vacuum operated. There's no "off" position. Most of them have a PRI or Prime position which allows fuel to run without vacuum (don't leave it on PRI though unless you want to fill up your crankcase with fuel), but this being an 80 it probably has an "alien" petcock without the prime position that Suzuki used only that year. There may be a screw head you can back out to allow fuel to flow. If the vacuum line to carb #2 is disconnected then the tap should be capped. The vents between 1-2 and 3-4 are just that and should not be hooked up to anything.

Search the forum for "oddball petcock" to get more information.
 
Ok cranked it over today has spark and compression
Took the carbs apart and they were full of nasty grime and bad gas
so heres my ? whats up with the rubber plugs that are in the pilot jet holes do they need these, dirt bike carbs i work on are not like this the polit jets then self's were plugged
 
You need them. The fuel is sucked up through the main and diverted to the pilot.
 
If you have a helper handy, put a rag with gas on it over the intake boots, should fire right up
 
Ok thanks the bike should be running soon that way i can drive it home and work on it
what size diameter wise are the bars i should have looked when i was working on it i don't like the look of the high bars
