    82gs 750tz coils sweating some liquid out the end.

    i just recently tried to get in running after sitting for years. it has a new tank and the carbs have been cleaned(twice). Petcock is working. Yet it won,t idle below 1800 rpm without the choke on about a third of the way.While it was running i noticed a drip comming from the coil. i looked all over and took the tank off it cant be comming from anywere else. is this possible and if so i assume they need to be replaced. Also could this be the reson it wont idle.

    Sounds like your carb cleaning was inadequate- did you peruse Basscliff's site and follow the guidelines? There are no shortcuts, especially on a bike that's been sitting.
    Liquid oozing out of a coil - is it thin and oily like silicone fluid? does this coil feel warmer than other? DO Not taste it!

        Do these bikes have oil filled coils? I guess I always assumed they were epoxy coils.

            Why rebuild kits? You don't need everything from them and some feel they are crap anyway. Just get the orings from www.cycleorings.com

            Not to mention you'll save yourself a lot of change. Wish I had listened last year.
