I have a 1981 gs450l I got about a month ago, and have been working on the thing about every night scratching my head. I got the bike to run a few weeks ago, but it only runs when its at 4000rpms or higher (where I have the idle set to start the bike) and when I try to adjust the idle down, the bike will die and not start again for a little while, I pulled the plugs and they are black and dry, have orange/whitish spark on the plugs, and have yet to check the coils when the bike is cold, but I think the resistance goes up, and the coils get pretty hot after running for at most 5 minutes. I have dipped the carbs and sprayed them out twice, replaced the orings in the carbs, but think the pilot jet may be clogged and it is super hard to clean. I just checked for air leaks tonight and there are none, I know the needles and seats are not sticking because fuel will flow into the carbs when gravity fed through a fuel line.
that's a lot to take in, but I don't want to leave anything out.
I am thinking it may be either the pilot jet is clogged or too small, or the coils are bad and I need new ones, does anyone know the specs on coils for an 81 gs450l?
Posting this in fuel + carbs and also electrical forums, as it could be either
