Hello,
I am having a problem with an '86 GS 750 I recently aquired(#2...).
As it had sat for over 5 yrs, I took it upon myself to clean up the carbs as a matter of course(my first time doing carbs).I thought I did a thorough job.I cleaned jets,needles,etc. with carb cleaner,then blew everything w/compressed air. Carbs back on,clamps tightened,installed airbox lid & new filter,and some good gas was added.
I hit the ignition,and it reluctantly turned over a couple,maybe three times,then lit up-in a big way!The engine spun to 5 grand and was going skyward before I cut the switch.
I played with the idle adjuster,no response.Also,choke was just a bit cracked open(no more than a third),and no throttle was applied during all this.
I'm at a loss,apparently carb work is right up there with picking a Stanley Cup winner(I picked Detroit...)
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
