    Some jetting questions...

    I can find a lot of info about "jet kits" and various stages, but kits are kind of a rip off. Can't find much on sizes.

    Anyone know off hand what the stock jetting is for a 1979 GS750E?

    Suggestions for jet sizes with pods and an open exhaust?

    Go to the top of this forum. The very first "sticky" is one about carb jetting.
    There is no rhyme or reason to the order, so you will have to look, but it's there.

    Suggestions for "pods and open exhaust"? Call Dynojet, order a Stage 3 for your bike. It's already been figured out so you don't have to.

      searched through that thread...maybe my key words weren't right, I don't know...but I found nothing for my particular model and carbs.

      And why would I want to spend $125 on a dynojet kit when I can spend $30 on jets and shims and have the same thing? Quite frankly, you don't have to answer people's questions...but you don't have to waste their time, either.

        OK, since you couldn't find it, I took all of THREE MINUTES to scroll through and find it for you.

        Are the '78 models close enough to your '79? You will find information for those in post #32.
        For a more comprehensive listing, look in post #43.

        Hopefully that did not waste any more of YOUR time.

            I'll add a wow.... That's how you get people to help you, be a b-hole to them....

            It's the standard answer (dynojet kit), because it's going to be 90% to 95% right out of the box. The alternative is endless plug chops and pulling your carbs 27 times. I'd rather spend the money.

                  Why would you pull the carbs?

                    Because I wanted to. ;-)
                    With all the messing around I've done with this bike I've had to rejet numerous times. Especially switching to 1150 carbs. NOW that was fun. Bike runs GREAT now though so it was worth it.

                      Do you use a stubby or right-angle driver (or both) for the float bowl screws?
                      I have a driver that is long enough to get the tops off.

                        They DONT make a kit for the 79 750, or any 750 before 80. You WILL have to jet by hand. I KNOW what jets you need, the needle positions and the like, but since you seem to be a bit of a jerk, I'll let you figure it out for yourself....

                            I noticed that with this guy on another thread. Seems like lately there've been four or five new guys who come on here, demand answers to basic questions, and when they don't like the answers they get, get sh!tty with people.

                            I guess it's just a reflection of the times we live in....
