A tutorial on sync-ing GS carbs, thanks to Mr. Bwringer (also found off of BassCliff's site):

http://www.bwringer.com/gs/carbsync.html

Synchronizing the carburetors adjusts the relative openings of the individual throttles to help make up for small variations in how well each cylinder "breathes". That's why one should always do a sync after a valve adjustment (that's not the only time, but it should always be done at that time). That's also why your carbs can only be sync'd on the engine they're intended for...

Your left bank of cylinders might have their throttle plates too closed and are not getting enough air, so they're not burning well and running cool. Or it could be that your pilot jets or idle jets are plugged or at least restricted so they're not getting enough fuel and running cool. There's also the potential that your left cylinders are fine but you have an air leak around your right cylinders so they're running lean and hot. Really the only way to know for sure is to methodically go through and eliminate each possibility.

Surely you have something lighter and less powerful than an 1100G to learn to ride on?

It would be a shame to waste such a low miles example on silly beginner mistakes.

Tkent, I have ridden a couple dirt bikes in my day. Lol but not a ton. I would love to learn on something smaller because I would hate to hurt this bike.

Little bikes are nearly free this time of year. Go for it.
