New GS750E Owner -- Please HELP with IDLE problem !!
Wow, am I glad I found this awesome web site with a forum and all. Glad to see GS users helping others in all aspects of their bikes, be it mechanical problems, mods, and even events.
Please don't bash me too hard for posting this question, but I really could NOT find a problem similar to mine in this forum (or anywhere else on the Internet for that matter).
Here goes:
Purchased an 82 750e from a guy for $100. He says it's been sitting in his garage for about 7 or 8 years.... ya ya, I know, not good already.
When I went to start the bike, surprising it fired up, rough, but still fired up. It idled "ok" at about 2500 rpm. All this was with the choke all the way to the left. (I think that's wide open). As soon as I move the choke lever even 1/8 inch to the right, the bike instantly died.
I then started it up again with the choke to the far left again. Idled ok at 2500 again. I then decided to give it some gas via the throttle and as I "slightly" gave it gas, the motor died again. As long as I leave the choke all the way to the left and don't touch anything else, the bike idles fine.
My question is: does this seem like a timing or carb problem? It almost seems to me like the motor is running WAAAAY too rich, and when the choke is closed or more gas is given, the motor floods. That's what I think. Or could I advance the timing somehow on these things? I've never taken a carb apart to clean one, but don't feel nervous about doing it. There's always a first time for everything.
ANY ANY help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks once again !!!!
