Keep at it and check your float needles for free movement and floats for the correct height settings. I had to go through mine 4 times before I was able to get it running again, but now I have no doubt in my ability to tear the carbs down to nothing and reassemble them. Persistence is the key!

Well a lots been going, here's where I'm at......
I rebuilt the carbs and set the float height
Got them on with an OEM airbox from a doner "L" I just picked up
Cleaned up the rats nest wiring
Noticed firing order was completely wrong(PO did no favors with this think LOL)
Fed it fuel last nigh, AND I LOST SPARK!
WTF!?!?!?
I swear this thing doesn't want to run.

What makes it all frustrating is at the beginning of this adventure I had spark. Now everything is where it's supposed to be I have none.

Greetings from a fellow PA biker. Great looking project. I just brought home a GS750 that hasn't run in about 6 years. Stay with it and keep us posted.

Hey all, been a while since I've posted. A lot has been going on in my bike world. Still got the '81 650g but back burnered that when picked up another '81 650, but it's an "L" with a boat anchor for a motor. Number two connecting rod let loose at the wrist pin, needless to say it was catastrophic failure with all kinds of ugly. Well, I started chopping the frame on that one and stopped when I got to the point when it was time to find another motor. Started back on the G and it turned out the Igniter **** the bed, fortunately I had a loaner from the junked L motor. Well, fuel in the tank, fuel in the bowls, spark, no fire! Why? No fuel getting into the cylinders. Hmmmm??? Pulled the carbs, got them soaking. We shall see then. Stay tuned.
Oh, this found it's way in to my garage today.....
