    Cold #1 cylinder

    I hope I've found my problem. #1 was not heating up at idle. It would heat up with a little throttle. Broke the carbs down (again), and found the passage in the bowl is clogged. Dipping that again now. Already dipped the body again before looking at the bowl. I guess newbies need to learn the hard way.

      That passage in the bowl is only used with the choke on. Is that when you are having the problem? If not, keep looking. Could be something in the pilot circuit plugged up, could be synch as 850 combat says.

        my cold carb #1 was a plugged pilot jet. interestingly it was plugged with something clear as I could see through it. Only when I tried to blow through it did I discover it was blocked. compressed air got the offender out.

        FYI - Mine got hot on choke and cold at all RPMs with the choke off.
        1981 GS750L - Owned since 1990 when graduated high school and since have been discovering all the things not disclosed by seller.
        1983 GS750E - bought in 2016 as a rough runner to use while rebuilding 81L and then to combine with ES to make one good one
        1983 GS750ES - bought in Toronto in 2015 on a lark as a non-runner, missing front cowling and exhaust - If you have a 1983 750ES front cowling let me know! Blue would be nice
