    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.

Hi everyone I need your help please, I brought a 1981 GSX750E, and it has a miss that I have not been able to fix so far, I have replaced the coils,leads,caps,spark plugs, CDI box, signal gen, adjusted the valve clearances and cleaned carbys only thing left is check the wiring I guess, at idle it is only running on 3 cylinders when you really get her revving she seems to run on all four cylinders I did see flames and sparks out of the exhaust the other day, the bike has a four into one exhaust and no rear air box only just a a foam filter that sits on the back of the front air box case any suggestions?
 
There is a lot of info to digest there. If I was gonna guess, and it runs like it did before the work was done, Id say its your air/fuel mixture. You'll have to give more details on the carb rebuild and what you have for jets.

Just for fun try to restrict the air a little. With a towel or something. It may be running too lean.

The carbys were rebuilt an ex suzuki mechanic and he said they were all good he replaced a couple of O rings, the bike has std jets. would the fact that it does not have rear airbox could that be the problem. Compression is all good and within limits.
Will try and restrict the air flow and report back, thanks for your help.
