1983 gs450l carb question ?

Yeah ok, they look nothing like my carbs...

Glad you got that circuit unblocked and cleaned out, hopefully it'll be good to go again.

Let us know!

I got the carburetors clean as a whistle. Now I have another problem !
I have no fire at the left coil . The coil checks different the the working coil. The leads to the coil from the harness check ( nothing ). The right side checks out and I get a reading. The left side ... I get nothing ! One thing after the other ... I SWEAR !

If you haven't already, replace the plug caps. When I was diagnosing my initial ignition issues before I went the Dynatek path, my right coil was similar to that and it was the dodgy original plug cap that was the issue. Bought new NGK ones and spark was good when fired manually...

My VERY LIMITED experience with missing spark on only one side has been that it ends up being a poor connection in harness. There is probably a better way, but I have had good success by taking battery terminal cleaner on a Q-tip and cleaning the male portions of all the connections that way, and a very small round brush for the female sides. I have also used a small pick down into the connector body to tighten up the connections on the female side.
