78 GS750 issues
My problem started out a few months ago, I fired my bike up and it wasnt running quite right, if I shifted into second gear it bogged down. I kept it in 1st gear and its top speed was around 25 mph. Now it has quit getting gas(I guess) if i spray starting fluid into th carbs it fires up but runs like crap. Does anyone know what the issue would be?

Greetings and Salutations!!
Hi Mr. OnebadGL,
Is there an inline fuel filter on your bike? There's no need for one if the tank and carbs are clean. The petcock could be failing. But the first suspect is the usually the carbs; dirty carbs, bad intake boots and O-rings. Sometimes there is no magic bullet and you just have to fix everything right so that you can start from a troubleshooting baseline. Here is a hearty welcome with lots of information to help you get started.

Hi,
If you took it to a shop, I hate to say it, but the carbs were probably not rebuilt properly. The proper procedure is in your mega-welcome.
