    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.

Having problems with my gs 700. I have to use starter fluid to get it going initially, then it idles ok. After driving for 30 minutes it just dies. I repeat the proces of getting it started and then it will die after a mile or 2. I replaced all the intakes and o-rings to elimnate a vacuum leak, thought carb three still seems to have a small leak. Any ideas as to where else to look?
 
Could be leaky exhaust or exhaust gaskets. Could be running ricj and a blast of starter fluid cleans out the much till it builds back up. How do you plugs look? Battery charge?
 
Rich, a bit yes.

Rich, a bit yes.

New plugs. I will yank em tomorrow and tell you how they look but they only have 20 miles on them. How do I change the mix if it is running rich? I'll try to tighten down the exhaust too. I didn't even think of that as being part of the issue//issues.
 
Sounds more like an ignition problem than a fuel system problem. Do you have a sprark when it dies? Is the chake working properly? Are you using it?
 
I have to agree with fgh - this is probably ignition. More than likely the charging system is Kaput - either the stator or voltage regulator/rectifier.
Get a voltmeter, check the voltage on the battery with the engine off and then again once you get the engine running - if the voltage doesn't come up to at least 13volts when running, then you definitely have a bad charging system.
