1980 gsx 750 e tickover issues

[Guest]

hi all, just got bike mot:d, first drive on it up to testing station, was running rough, cutting out. the guy who mot d the bike seemed very genuine, cleaned out carbs, but said I need to get a set of inlet manifold rubbers for it. it now ticking over but very uneven, revving up n down quite fast. would cracked rubbers cause this? and if so, can anyone please suggest where I can order some? am in Scotland, have searched online, but cant track anything down. all help and suggestions greatly appreciated, cheers!

Sure would. But don't count on previous owner having done a thorough carb cleaning

Agreed. I wouldn't trust someone that, supposedly, went through the carbs properly and then didn't replace the "know bad" intake boots. I'd take the carbs down and go back through them. Inspect the boots yourself while they're off. Make sure the clamps are good as well. So much to do actually. Make sure the valves are adjusted, check plugs, plug wires, timing, check charging system and ignition system just to name a few. Anyone who receives a new to them bike should go through these steps regardless of what a previous owner has said or done.
