So! Just my luck! CARBS

[feelergaugephil]

So, I haven't started my GS in months, charge the battery, turn the inline fuel stop on, she cranks right up on choke for 2-3 secs then starts to chug then quits!!!!
Strange! never done that before, I crank her up again and she bogs down again and runs on 2, then 1 then quits!
I take off the right chrome air cover (81 GS1000G) and spray a little bit of choke cleaner in there....................
Fires straight up and runs, but then wont idle!
Crap! TAKE THE DAMN CARBS OFF!
I opened up the float bowls and found crappy sediment in all including the idle jets!
Cleaned out with cleaner and air line.
Carbs back on, fired straight up, woop woop woop!!!!!!!! lololol!

Here's the issue! from cold it refuses to start, the choke cable is attached and as I pull the cable I can see the choke rods moving outward.
So! what part of the carb system did I miss cleaning?
I just went out and cranked her, she splutters and bogs down with choke, (cold engine) so I push the choke off and she idles a little quirky until slightly warms up then perfect!
Whats the deal?
I mention just my luck in the post! because I have her on ebay right now, then hopefully if sold, I'm getting a 93 GS1100G, so i won't be leaving you guys on the site!!!!

There is probably sediment in the pick up for the choke circuit. Possibly in the upper diaphram chamber as well. Also, make absolutely sure those airbox boots are in place. I had been fighting with mine on my new to me 1000G myself..

My air box boots are new as well as the intakes, THANKFULLY! the air boxes on the G model come out real easy not like squeezing the carbs between the intakes and air box.
K, will take the top of the carbs of now, will post back later, thank you.

Thanks Cafekid, you nailed it in one! there was some slight sediment in the upper area, cleaned it all out, cranked straight up, then I let it cool off and tried again..............
100% perfect. Thank again.
See! I know quite a lot about the GS's but get stumped from time to time!

Its easy to do. Especially i find if youve been working on them for a while. You KNOW the necessary things, but sometimes you just look beyond them for a more difficult problem, instead of thinking thru the simple stuff because you assume that you already took care of it. I do it ALL the time. Hell, right now im confussled as to why i cant get my MityVac to draw brake fluid thru the master. I really dont want to pull that rear MC off and prime it by hand... its such a mess.
