    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    Since this problem came on unexpectedly while the bike had been running well , I’d be real suspicious of your petcock, especially the stuff about gas in airbox and the hard-to-turn petcock lever. Test it and find out Get some hoses that fit on petcock…one for the fuel outlet and one for the...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    If petcock is working correctly, no fuel will get past petcock in “on or res” spot unless motor is running. If you put in “pr” spot ….and left in there too long…it could overfill fuel bowls with tired fuel needle seats. How long from your last “running well” ride till this event happen. If it...

    82 750 leaking gas from airbox hose

    The one year honeymoon is over! Hopefully , if you’re lucky ,just little issues need some attention . With petcock in “on “ spot , gas will start flowing as you crank…if engine fails to run, gas could overflow a needle seat in one or more carbs….eventually this gets in airbox and down the drain...

    1982 Suzuki GS 650G

    We all admire persistence …..and any progress is good. I’m not sure why you don’t want to get more done with the auxiliary tank to get it running longer…..to rule out tank/ petcock issues. Sitting for 5 years is going to require carb work or a miracle to restore decent running

    1981 Suzuki GS650G - dies under load when throttled past ~1/3

    The idle stop screw is hard to turn one way due to throttle spring pressure….hold throttle grip open to make it easier. I’d say that you got to get to a proper carb cleaning …you’ve failed to get lucky! These carbs need clean passages to have decent idle and a good transition to mid...

    1981 Suzuki GS650G - dies under load when throttled past ~1/3

    I’m getting confused here…..before you starting messing with coils, you said it was hard to start, but ran well…now with new plug caps ,it starts easily, but no power. I’d first get new petcock , to rule it out as a problem and move on to proper carb cleaning stuff ….dirty carbs will give you...

    Fuel/vac line routing

    There is also a nipple on the motor side of carb 2 with nothing on there. I need to know for sure which lines go where from the petcock and what to do with that nipple on carb #2. zz0.1un3eb7zlpszz edit: this site is fighting me today! there are two vent hoses that just hang over back of carbs

    81 GS750E - Missing at Idle & Low RMP

    Get some hoses that fit on petcock…one for the fuel outlet and one for the vacuum line to #2 carb. In “ON” spot no fuel should flow thru outlet hose …unless vacuum is applied thru the vacuum connection. If you carefully suck on vacuum line, fuel should flow, but it fuel is spotted in vacuum line...

    81 GS750E - Missing at Idle & Low RMP

    Good time to check vacuum petcock for correct operation. I fit fails and leaks gas into #2 cylinder, you got a 3 cylinder bike at low rpms . Likely clears at higher rpms. Shame on you for putting up with this for years !

    When you played with clutch, you misaligned something. Note in that link to beware wrong gasket thickness.

    1981 Suzuki GS650G - dies under load when throttled past ~1/3

    I’d get new plug caps …..remove old ones and snip off about 3/8 inch off plug wires - this gets you fresh copper for the new caps to bite into. With 5k ngk caps the overall resistance cap to cap will drop to about 23kohm. this is a good time to check your mechanical advance on your signal...

    1980 Suzuki GSX400 Choke issues

    “…can usually get it started by giving it throttle with the choke off, and after 10-15 seconds of throttle, it will idle.“ so it idles nicely after this startup hesitation ? About how long is starter motor cranking with 1/4 “choke” applied?

    Dry plugs

    Apply full “choke” and use no throttle during cranking

    1980 GSX400E Starting issues

    ”The bike only starts with the choke on, and even then, only about half the time.“ I’d drop each fuel bowl and make sure the “choke” pickup tube is not partially clogged from 6 months idleness.

    Electrical gremlins are starting to happen… I am so confused.

    You need to charge the battery up and do the Quick Test. A bad r/r could train battery, but it’s unusual, so don’t blame it just yet. you didn’t respond to my question about kickstand switch

    Skip the adjustable bike shop cable and get correct part as it will make things easier to hook up.
