    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.

I took my gs 750 off the road for a little over a month so I could paint it. Bike was running fine.

I removed the air filter and air box and replaced with four cone air filters I found on ebay.

I removed and emptied the gas tank as good as I could. Still couldn't get every drop out, and know that there may have been some floating crap in their.

Painted the bike and reassembled.

Had a little trouble getting started, but atlast the engine came to life after charging the battery over night.

I am to the point that the bike idles pretty regular, but when I hit the throttle it starts to choke at about 4000 rpm and faulter back down.

Sometimes it throttles up just fine.

Thought that things would clear up after taking it for a good ride, found it to get a little better, but found myself at the shoulder of I 95 several times do to throttle response faultering.

I have seen the carb pictures posted on this sight, but don't dare to attempt dismantling them for fear of not having the information to readjust them back to running the way they should.

Will stp carb cleaner in my gas help?

Please help:)

Thanks,
Antero
 
If your not comfortable about pulling your carbs to bits the only thing I'd suggest is putting the original airbox back on. You have entered a minefield of trial and error with carb tuning by fitting pods to CVs.
 
With the pods you are likely to need a bump in the jets.
As mentioned, if you don't feel comfortable with a carb cleaning...a rejet may not be your cards. :|
 
Thanks to you both

Thanks to you both

Okay! I am willing to give it a shot. What do I need before I get started? What should I do. I love the look of the pods and would like to move forward.

Help please:)

If you don't start with a solid baseline, you'll spend the rest of the summer wasting your time. You must have proper valve clearances, no intake leaks, solid ignition and squeaky clean carbs (inside & out), followed by a compression test.

From there, you can get jetting advice here.
 
Bike back to normal.

Bike back to normal.

I removed the pods and reinstalled the original airbox and filter.

My baby is back:)

Thanks,

Just think, you saved the rings, those pods don't filter as good as the stock setup, and you'll still have the nice broad powerband that pods seem to get rid of.
 
get a k&n oem type air filter and youll notice a big diff plus make sure you air box is sealed
