I have a 1981 gs750l with the air screws on top near air filter. which way do I turn them for rich or lean? all four are running rich with smoke. I've been battling this bike with issues since I got it. I replaced the petcock. adjusted the valves. adjust tooth timing. rebuilt carbs. checked for leaks replaced exhaust gaskets. among other.

out makes it richer in makes it leaner. It may be a problem bigger than just turning a screw :-D. You may need to do some serious jetting. -
I was wrong about location of screws. Been awhile since I messed with this prob. I'm pretty sure that they weren't all running rich before the carb rebuild. should I do another sync with them at 1.5 out. what comes first?Last edited by Guest; 03-05-2007, 07:45 PM.Comment

I'm not sure of the exact #, but I believe that 1 and a half to 2 turns out from all the way in is normal for a stock air box and exhaust. Once you get this setting figured, you should use a manometer to synch the carbs.

thanks. I'll try better.Comment

fine tuning the air screws wouldn't throw the sync off after?Comment

I was just syncing today adjusting the mixture screw wont change sync unless your really far off. If you just moving it < (less than) 1 turn you should be fineComment

thanks for all the help. after I moved them to 1 and half. I ran it in the yard for a few cut it off at idle and checked one plug. It was obviously still sooty, but it looked like it was trying to tan up a bit. I quit cause it was getting dark.Comment
