Its been a while since posting, but Ive got quite a bit done. Again, please excuse poor lingo or terms, but Im learning.
Heres the story...
Bought a '78 GS750 from someone who said it hadnt run in 2 years.
Rebuilt the carbs (from a '77 GS750), changed the oil and filter, changed spark plugs and checked connections.
Now - let me state that I have not synched the carbs, but have checked the depth of air and fuel screws properly. I dont have the proper tools to synch the carbs. is it a bad idea to try do anything more before synching?
Heres the Great news! - She fired up, made noise and road around the block in a very rough state.
Heres the Bad news... Only idles with the choke open fully, and on Prime. Dies otherwise.
Belches out grey / white smoke from the left exhaust. Also, the pipes on the left hand side are blowing out grey smoke at the connection where the pipes go into the engine. Any ideas?
The bike came with pod filters, and the ugly cruiser muffler things, and the connection of the pipes to the engine seem very sketchy....
Im sure this is all adding to my problem, but Im not sure what sequence to trouble shoot things in.
Please see attached pic.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Mozez.
Anyone in Vancouver B.C ? I have quite a few parts kicking around, if you would like to trade.
