    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...

    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.

What year 750?
Pre 1980 has VM carbs, the mains have nothing do with close throttle mixture, use the air screws or fuel screws underneath.
They can pop from being too rich or too lean, it's hard to tell from here.

If it was made after 1980, post your results when if and when you get it right.
 
Not sure what carbs you have, but on mine it would be the pilot jet.
 
i have a 84 gs 750 (canada only). i have rs34 flatslides... i have them set up from the factory..so maybe i should play with the screws?.
 
The screw is kind of a fine tuning adjustment for idle. So backing the screw out a bit would give you more fuel at the closed throttle position, but not as much as going up on the pilot jet. Normally the screw is 1/4-1/2 turn out. How does it run other than that?
 
The bike runs nice at idle and it seems to have alot of power but when i gear down it pops on m.My bike seems to be running a little hotter since i put the new header and carbs on.I am assuming it is to lean.
 
Yes, it is a lean condition. Raise the needles 1 clip position & go ride it. Let us know the result. Ray.
