    Bike stalls after 5 minutes

    I hadn't even thought of the gas cap. I tried again today pulled the cap off as it was beginning to die, unfortunately it made no difference. Good thought though it never even occurred to me.

    Bike stalls after 5 minutes

    So I put brand new Keyster float valves in my 82 gs750t, a rebuilt petcock, as well as an o ring kit courtesy of Nessism (great kit, great price and super fast shipping I might add), and the carb leaking into the air box and onto the ground problem is gone. The bike starts fine and idles...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    Well finally got the new petcock on, while I had the tank off I checked the valve clearances and put in a new gasket for the cover. The old one was leaking and all of the bolts were loose, some backed off several turns. Took hours to clean all down in the spark plug valleys but got it done...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    Sounds like a plan, how do I find this georgefix guy? I tried searching but just came up with people referencing him in posts

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    So you don't recommend doing a new float valve needle and seat, just the orings?

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    I'm not at all opposed to doing maintenance, I've pretty much been working on this bike nonstop over the past year from the exhaust to the clutch to gaskets to putting everything back to stock from it's windjammer fairing setup, the carbs are one of the only things I haven't touched because it...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    I've never used the prime setting on the petcock, it's always been in the on position. I was going to turn it to prime when I started it this spring but it was so stiff that I couldn't turn it by hand so just left it alone. My only guess with the starting issue is that gas leaked into the...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    I can certainly check, is it physically possible for a gas to make it into the engine from a leaking carb while it's just sitting there? Could it be both leaking backwards into the airbox and forwards into the engine simultaneously? Just changed the oil a few months ago so definitely want to get...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    Well the rebuild kit is in the mail but I can try cleaning the original one first and if that's all it needs I can send the kit back. I'm mainly wondering if a malfunctioning petcock alone could explain this? Or would it also have to be in conjunction with a bad needle valve (or sinking float)...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    Haha well said, honeymoon over. I'm shocked it ran so well for so long to be honest. Well I don't think there was anything wrong with the charging system, to be honest it almost acted like it was hydrolocked although that didn't occur to me at the time. If the carb is leaking is it possible that...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    So I bought my 82 750t a year ago and it has been running well since I bought it with the factory airbox setup, Always started immediately and idled well. I've not had the carbs apart and don't know their history, I assuming this bike sat for long periods of time since it has 18k miles. Well...
