    gs750 e or l

    How do I tell sub model of my 80' gs 750? I'm not sure if it's an E (t or x) or an L (t or x)

    The "E" is awesome and the "L" is ugly.
    No signature :(

        That is the E model. 1980 is the T and 1981 is the X. They were identical.

          Thank you, I am trying to get a pet cock for it and there are different part numbers.

            Maybe you could answer this question.

            I've got a 1980 gs750 that I recently bought. My issue is that it runs, but after a few short minutes fuel pours through the valve cover breather into the air box. There is an aftermarket pet cock put on after the original. I've heard that if the original is bad, that could cause the problem (vacuum issue). I'm wondering if you guys can either confirm or throw out other ideas.

              Fuel pours through the valve cover breather into the air box? That can not happen. Maybe through one or more of the carbs throats into the air box but not through the valve cover breather. You better look that over very carefully. Sounds like your floats are way out of adjustment or your carb vents are ? Check your engine oil to see if it smells like gas. If it does STOP RIDING.

              Just in case you do want to install a new petcock, Pingel makes one though it is expensive. When mine go bad, I just buy a new one, less heart ache. Rebuilding one is a waste of time and money. The big issue in replacing this petcock with anything else but a stock one is the clearance between the petcock and the air box. You'll notice there ain't alot of room right there.

                Plan is to buy oem from suzuki parts warehouse online. I'm hoping that's the actual problem, but I'm not 100%

                    Screenshot_2016-02-01-15-18-15.jpg the fuel is coming from the breather tube (11) it's blowing my mind. It runs like a top even while pouring fuel into the air box. I had one guy tell me he had a similar issue and that the pet cock was bad and fixed the problem. I just don't want to throw parts at it. I havn't had it on the road yet lol, going to get it out this spring.

                      Can't be, there is no fuel what so ever that even gets near the breather tube. All it does is vent the crank case fumes (cheap pcv) back through the air box, nothing else.
                      Make sure the tube goes from the top of the valve cover to the air box. Something is way wrong here.
