Plaid_Bagger

So while changing fork seals, I noticed the headers are getting a little rusty. I took it for a ride yesterday, and now there is a hole in the headers. I've searched the exhaust I know, nothing that bolts on that I can find. Does anyone have any suggestions.

I have got a new battery. Went to fire up and it just back fires out the exhaust. I let it sit for a moment. But the no results. Getting fuel. It sparked over for a second but than it backfired.

So carbs are rebuilt. Put accel coils on, new wires and air filter. All four cylinder heated up. Till the battery died. Thanks for the help guys. Next step is to rebuild stater and do timing on the points.

I have tried at higher revs. And I think that's how the pipes warmed up. Bot it bogs out and dies. I just bought the spark plugs. And I did buy new one and tried again. Same thing. So I'm going to deep clean the housing and the fuel pipe that goes to the carbs. That link is awesome. Thank you. I've done lawn mower carbs. But this is different. Like I said, now that it's above 30 degrees during the day I'm able to get some work done.

So it has finally been above 20 degrees and I have been back to playing with the bike. I started it up out of curiosity and the pipes for 3 and 4 had a little heat to them. So I took the carbs off and of course the carbs had a bunch of fuel. So somewhere something is sticking or flooding. Be working on the rebuilds. Anything specific I should be looking for?

So I switched the wires around. And still the same. 1 and 2 fired. Have good compression. So I tore the carbs out. Ordered a rebuild kit, going to bench sync the floats again. Has to be something going on in the carbs. Was wondering about the t section where the fuel splits off. Thanks for the help guys. Apprcost a that.

I will check that. It is the original air box. New filter. I bought a compression gauge this morning so I will take a look at that. Thanks will post what I find.

So the bike does have points. The plugs are good. Compression is good. I will try switching the plugs around. But as was said. The coils wouldn't go in that order. I changed the plugs, and oil and basic maintenance before operating.

I bought a 1978 gs 750 e about a month ago. Needed it's lights rewired but other than that it was in good shape. Rode it for a couple days than all of a sudden it bogged down. I can get the old girl ta start, but she is only firing off the first two cylinders. Cylinders 3 and 4 don't even get warm. They are getting fuel, [spark plugs are whet when I pulled them] and I switched the plugs around to make sure they are ok. All the plugs work. I'm certain it's getting compression, but don't actually have a meter to gauge properly. Have no clue what to look into next, and it's my main mode of transportation at the moment. Please, if any one could throw some ideas out there. I'd be very thankfully.
