Hi,

Spraying various and sundry liquids at your intake boots is not a reliable test. If they are 30 years old, it's time for new intake boots and O-rings. Have you checked things like cables, choke plungers, the idle adjustment screw, a well-sealed airbox, etc? Have the carbs been properly disassembled, dipped, and cleaned? There's lots of information about this stuff available on my website and by using the search function. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,

im running k/n pod filters on it.dont know if that has anything to do with it.i guess i will pull the carbs tommorow an see how o rings and boots are.awsome tech on your site.very very helpful.i will keep you posted

Hi,

Have your carbs been re-jetted for the increased intake due to the pod filters? Do you also have an aftermarket 4-n-1 exhaust? A lean mixture is not good for your GS and other living things.

not sure about jetting.have stock exaust.i do have my stock airbox.it will rev up when cold then drop to normal idle kind of like the choke is on.then when i gas it it goes back up then drops back down.i unhooked the choke because it was going back down all the way.think i should put the stock air box on then go from there?

Did PO or you have it rebuilt? As Basscliff said, those are probably old boots and o-rings - don't count on previous owner to have replaced them, or to have rejetted for pods.

Hi,

There's an extensive vendor list in your "mega-welcome" along with a lot of other helpful information.

The best price for intake boots (look on the page with the cylinder head, they're called intake "pipes") would probably be Partshark, Cycle Parts Nation, or G&S Suzuki.

I did a price comparison recently in THIS THREAD.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Yeah, here, too, but at least all the words had all their letters.
