    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.

1982 GS750 starting issue.

Its a 1982 GS 750T.

It has spark and suction. plenty of gas. Will crank but doesn't fire. The plugs seem dry after trying to get it running. Plenty of gas in the carbs but it doesnt seem to be getting to the plugs. it had set completely dry for about two weeks while the gas tank was getting worked on. On the carbs there are lots of hoses and openings. a main gas feed in the middle that goes to the petcock. a smaller ?vacuum? hose i think also to the petcock. And two open plugs between carb one and two and carb three and four. I'm running out of idea. any help would be awesome. thanks in advance.
 
did you try it on prime. The Petcock needs vacuum (through the vacuum line) to flow gas in Run mode but not prime.
 
I actually dont have the tank or petcock hooked up yet. I was using a funnel and in line filter.
 
Might be the filter, try it without that.

My T can be a pain to get started after having the carbs pulled and reinstalled.

I use an old windex bottle with some gas in it to spray into the airbox (filter removed).
You'll need to twist the throttle a bit to get the fuel mist sucked in to the engine.

Once mine fires up for a few seconds it starts pulling gas through the carbs perfectly and never requires priming with the spray bottle again, until I take the carbs off that is.

Make an introduction thread, if you haven't already, and lets us see some pics of your T!
 
Tom203, that site is an awesome help. it seems to only let me post a single pic is that normal?
