No---take your carbs apart and clean them according to this----

What, you don't believe in miracle cures? Maybe Mr. gshub could elaborate on his problems before we render a verdict.

Seafoam works fine as a preventive additive. It will not fix faulty carbs. It will help reduce build up in the system if used regularly. I also add a couple caps ful to the oil about 500 miles or so before a change to help remove more of the gunk.

I've used it with good results, but it's not a mechanic in a can. I don't use it now because I use another product, Star Brite Star Tron, I use that now because it's not as cost prohibitive, you get more treatments for less money and I can't tell any difference in performance between the two.

Prices vary all over the place for this stuff. I usually pick it up at Home Depot or Lowe's for $6 and change.

This is the problem...
end of october last yr had my Gs1085s dynoed 68ftlbs torque 90hp Afr was nearly spot on
brill i thought ,so i put Gs away for winter ,the spring this yr get Gs out of garage exspecting it to run the same it has other ideas.
Gs runs loverly till it gets 5000rpm then it splutters and dies plugs black like its far to rich.
carbs been cleaned stripped loads of times nothing make any differance.
carbs were stripped and put in a sonic cleaner the last time that didnt make any differance either ,so far this summer its been to 3 local bikeshops tried 5 sets plugs 2 new ignition systems.
if it had been fiddled with over winter i could understand it but it wasnt touched while it
was put in storage.
had it reshimmed a few weeks back aswell, motor done 2000 miles since a complete strip and rebuild by a top engine builder.
it has mikuni 28mm slide carbs with oval K&ns fit its been running fine for the past 10yrs.
till know.

Thanks

How did you "pickle" it for the winter storage?
Did you fill the tank? And if so, did you put a fuel stabilizer in it?
Grasping straws here.
Can't figure out why it would be running too rich, if anything I would think it would be running lean (plugged up carbs) after being in storage.

Are the floats floating correctly?

Never heard of it. Maybe you should try a search of the forum.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Ah, sarcasm, brilliant wit, and a contribution to the solution to his problem. All in two sentences. Bravo !

If she's running rich, have a look to see if the choke plungers have got stuck / gone hard / got damaged.

I'll guess you followed the same storage routine and prepared it for winter sleep correctly. Did you check to see if any mice type critters found your exhaust to be a cozy winter retreat? Sounds like others have explored the intake and electrical side of things to a dead end, so look for something strange.

This morning threw our biker world of word and mouth i have found guy who looks
after old GSX/Gss, he is pretty sure he can sort it and is sure it carbs and has seen of
this problem in the past.
but i will let you know ASAP wot the problem is.
At last i hope i found the right person who wants to sort it out.
