ok so I finally got my project bike to start the other day..had full choke on and idled ok..kind of lopey if you know what i mean.. then after i took it off choke it still idled fine.. and then WAAAAAAAAAAA sounded like full throttle.. not sure what rpm ( bad tach cable disconnected)it was but it was way up there. then aftera second or two it went back down... and after about 1 -2 minutes it did it again.. and kept doing this for about 4-5 minutes until i couldn't take it anymore.. every time I hit the throttle it sounded like it bogged out and would go right back down to the loped idle.

I have heard floats, and air leaks from guys at work.. but i'd rather hear for you guys that have these bikes.
I am working on a 1982 gs1100glz

Thanks guys,
George

Project bike.
Did it run okay before your project? What, if anything, did you do to engine-carbs-exhaust?

Sounds to me like the carbs need a good cleaning.

Hi,

Click the link for my website below in my sig file. Then click on the READ ME page and go through the maintenance lists. There are things to check, repair, replace, clean, and links to the proper procedures.


Thank you for your indulgence,

i bought it as a running bike that just needed a starter rebuild. i got the starter rebuilt and found the wiring was all messed up. so i went wire to wire and fixed all the wiring and got it running. Now it is doing what i described.
I was told by PO that the bike ran 7 months ago and the carbs were rebuilt last year. not sure if before the end of season or after and just never got them syncro'd.
