    No idle and bludders when fast throttle

    Hello fellow posters, first post here and my english is... not perfect so bare with me =). I am also a neeeewbie in mechanics.

    Just bought a GS750E -79. First drive ok, about 130km no problem. On the second drive, after about 20km, when driving, My bike dies at a redlight. No idle, and when I throttle fast the bike studders and the engine dies.
    If I rev up nice and slooooow, its allright...

    My thought is that the bike gets to much air. Four conical airfilters are fitted, by a shop prior to my purchase.

    Service performed:
    1. Checked the petcock - OK.
    2. Disasembled carbs and cleaned them the best I could. One floater had a small scrath on it.
    3. Checked the sparks - the two plugs at the center cylinders looked like they were running hot, the other two fine.
    4. Changed motor oil, and filter.
    5. Re-asembled the carbs, flooded them and fired her up. Same thing...

    Killed the switch, screwed the airscrew at each of the four carbs 360 degrees clock-wise to give the carbs less air. They are now almost fully screwed in.
    Screwed the idle-knob(?) so the engine doesn´t die at idle. - Fired her up again.
    This time the problem was the same, but it was less bluddering/studdering than before, but still totaly unacceptable.

    My questions are:
    1. How do I know that the individual carbs are correctly tuned in with the air-screw?
    2. How do I prevent the bike to get so much air with these screwes almost bottomed?
    3. The initial problem occured when driving so I do not understand what is wrong... Please help me obe wan kenobi!

    I think your problem is more or less a lean fuel issue. With the pods the bike will have much more air flow than a stock setup. So, you probably need to up the pilot jet and main jet in size. What size are they now? I think the pilot air screws should be somewhere in the middle, say 1 3/4 turns out. Having them almost shut or fully open don't help when you need to make fine adjustments.

      The main jets are now 125. Before the conical airfilters were on the bike, the bike had 115 jets...
      I think that the carbs are getting to MUCH fuel. Could I be right?

        And think about that the problem occured while driving. It was OK before! Anyone?
