    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1980 GS750 Massively underperforming

Hey guys.
As an update, I synced the carbs...they were waaaaay off and that helped a little but I think you were right about the lean/rich issue and rejetting. A couple people have told me that rejetting that bike is a nightmare with pods, so I'm looking into getting a used air cleaner set up.
Does anyone know if multiple models would work on the 1980 gs750? I found a guy in my area that has one for a 1980 gs1100 but I doubt it would fit...

Edit: When I got the bike safetied, the guy thought that the pods were too small for the bike.

A lot of people mentioned running lean but would the symptoms I mentioned possibly be from running rich? Will my spark-plugs solve this mystery?

I plan on taking the carbs apart and check the number of the jets this week. Hopefully I can get this worked out.

Also, I realize how annoying all these posts must be but I really appreciate all your patience and advice.

not to worry, this is what these guys do on here! But I find the "massively underperforming " title disturbing!
