    newbie.. i have problems with a 79 gs750L

    im having trouble trying to get it to start or run. i had it runing once w/ full choke, and one what im assuming is a vac. line hooked to the petcock thing. i need to know how to hook up the "vacuum lines"???? to the petcock..... ther are 3 lines. ive been told it might be clogged pilotjets. but i know i dont have the vac. lines hooked up properly. and i think if i could get them right she would run.. please help if u know anything about it. im getting frustrated trying to find any info on how they should be........ thank you very very very much for any info and i look forward to getting to know everybuddy on the forum...

          First of all: don't even try to get it running without the airbox and air filter.
          It will never run properly without them.
          Install everything first and see how it runs, before you attempt to fine tune the carbs.

              Somehow all GS's need the restricted airflow. You can do without the airbox and filter and change to pods, but it will require rejetting of the carbs.
              But first you want to make sure that the engine is running ok, so you need the airbox and filter to get the right setup.
