(LONG) Engine diagnosis and Carb question, GS750 carbs on GS850 overbore motor

[Steve]

I do intend to do "plug chops" but it is really hard since I dont know anything more than I could google, and that bought a wide range of results............

Some said that you cut the plug up some said NO YOU DONT...........

In the second link that you posted: www.iwt.com.au/mikunicarb.htm , look at The section called "Carburetor Jetting Troubleshooting", just below Fig.6. There is a diagram (Fig.7) that shows what jets have an affect at different throttle openings, then it has a very good description of how to do plug chops.

OOh my god! I cant believe that I missed that lol

Thanks for pointing out to me what I should have already noticed since I posted the link, and read the pages lol!

Im printing the whole thing now so that I can read it tomorrow at work and hopefully do something later tomorrow evening after I get home.

Got my colortunes, set the idle mixtures....... they are set to the maximum anti clockwise setting (without breaking them)

this is confusing... how many turns out exactly?

Hi sorry I didnt describe how many turns out they are. Its on the VM26SS carbs and they are now set at 3 full turns anti clockwise.

I cant turn them any more, they seem to lock up at this point.
