    I believe it is my carbs

    I took my gs 750 off the road for a little over a month so I could paint it. Bike was running fine.

    I removed the air filter and air box and replaced with four cone air filters I found on ebay.

    I removed and emptied the gas tank as good as I could. Still couldn't get every drop out, and know that there may have been some floating crap in their.

    Painted the bike and reassembled.

    Had a little trouble getting started, but atlast the engine came to life after charging the battery over night.

    I am to the point that the bike idles pretty regular, but when I hit the throttle it starts to choke at about 4000 rpm and faulter back down.

    Sometimes it throttles up just fine.

    Thought that things would clear up after taking it for a good ride, found it to get a little better, but found myself at the shoulder of I 95 several times do to throttle response faultering.

    I have seen the carb pictures posted on this sight, but don't dare to attempt dismantling them for fear of not having the information to readjust them back to running the way they should.

    Will stp carb cleaner in my gas help?

    Please help

    Thanks,
    Antero

    If your not comfortable about pulling your carbs to bits the only thing I'd suggest is putting the original airbox back on. You have entered a minefield of trial and error with carb tuning by fitting pods to CVs.

      With the pods you are likely to need a bump in the jets.
      As mentioned, if you don't feel comfortable with a carb cleaning...a rejet may not be your cards.

        Thanks to you both

        Okay! I am willing to give it a shot. What do I need before I get started? What should I do. I love the look of the pods and would like to move forward.

        Help please

          If you don't start with a solid baseline, you'll spend the rest of the summer wasting your time. You must have proper valve clearances, no intake leaks, solid ignition and squeaky clean carbs (inside & out), followed by a compression test.

          From there, you can get jetting advice here.
          and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

            Bike back to normal.

            I removed the pods and reinstalled the original airbox and filter.

              Just think, you saved the rings, those pods don't filter as good as the stock setup, and you'll still have the nice broad powerband that pods seem to get rid of.
