GS1150 Idling very rough, carb rebuild time?

[bluewool]

BTW, the bike won't run for crap without the airbox unless you rejet the carbs. Same story for adding pods.

see post 12

it ran great about a year ago, I have a pipe and pods on it and was like that when I got it, first thing I did when I got it was pop the carbs off to check them out and they were clean, then it kinda just starting running crappy at idle and chokeing up on the get go

The bigger line(5/16?) is the fuel. The smaller line ( on the back-- as in the opposite side as the res-pri-on switch) is the vacuum line.

thats what I thought but my book is a little confusing, cool, so I got a filter on there correctly, gonna button it up possibly today but I have to tighten the clutch hub nut cause after I did my clutch cause it rattles bad...I sure miss riding my 1150!

Did you rejet for the pods???

You said you had the carbs apart. Did you sync them? Out of sync carbs can make the bike run like crap.

Did you rejet for the pods???

in older posts I wrote up a paragraph on the bike, it had a header and pods and pretty sure a jet kit when I got it as it ran great(and always has till a few months ago when I parked it), theres a video link of a run I took at Laguna seca(2 years in a row on this bike)...

Im pretty sure my problem was some very fine rust in the tank clogged the jets, carbs are clean and new fuel filter installed, gonna run it soon and see how it goes, Ill coat the tank when I get a chance...and my friend has the color tune to run on it as well...
