    I'm new! 1977 GS750B

    Hi!

    I'm in Virginia right outside of Washington DC in the United States

    I have had a few bikes before, last one was a Honda 1300C ...2006 I think

    Carb bikes?

    Gpz 750, 1983, bought new off the showroom floor, against moms advice. Bless her!
    Never had to work on the carbs, sold 3 years later

    Had a 1998 Kawasaki zx11, did lots of work then ....bad gas fouled the carbs. Didn't have the energy, sold that one.

    This is a new to me, bought from original owner , 1977 Suzuki.

    ​​​​​​Not running, thought it was electrical, but the fuel lines were not hooked up. Fuel everywhere in the ground! Oh well, I will tackle this carb rebuild.

    So, glad to be here!

    Allen

      Welcome... My 1st real bike was a "77" GS750, great bikes. Surprised somebody, that knows how, hasn't put in the link to carb rebuild thing here at GSR. Great info and should answer most any carb question for you... Not that it matters, the "77" colors were bright red and torquoise, the "78" and "79" models were the maroon and burgundy ones. Again welcome and keep us updated.

          Welcome to the nuthouse!
          I spent 30 years in Reston/Herndon, 'til we'd had enough of the traffic et al. Moved to Western MN in 2013.... it's a bit different here.
          The electrics are the weak spot with these bike - get it sorted and you'll have a great machine. No end of help available.

            Hey hey!

            Not much action here, just researching how to get this thing started. YouTube vids and reading forum posts.

            Electrical. Fuel. Gonna start on it in April! Little warmer then.

            Thanks for all the welcomes and advice.

              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                  Thanks!

                  I did buy a "spark detector" that lights up to show that the spark plug is firing.

                  I am also going to remove that battery and give it a full charge.

                  The spark plug light installs in series between the plug and the plug wire.

                  Will start on this project in April when it's a little warmer...
