not got the info you need but if you are genuine then good luck in finding him.

Hey All! I am looking for a missing US Marine from 1978. He was stationed in Millington, TN and never reported back to base after he went for a motorcycle ride in June of 1978. He was a new rider at the time, on a 1978 Suzuki GS750, Engine #GS750-48441 frame number either GS750-35056 or GS750-33000 with TN license plates ZNB768. There was a transcription error on the receipt for the bike so I am not entire sure what the frame number is. It is suspected he crashed the bike and he his remains have never been found. I looking for some resources to potentially see if the motorcycle was ever recovered? Maybe salvaged? Is there a place to search Engine or Frame numbers? If I can get more details about where the bike may have been found maybe I can locate him. I am a Law Enforcements Officer and my contact info is contained within the link below. I do not believe he is a military deserter or AWOL and he is not in trouble. Help me bring this Marine home to his family. Tips can be sent via this link https://www.ncis.navy.mil/Resources/NCIS-Tips/ or posted in this form.

One air corrector for each carb so four in all. The kit will consist of a blind tap and four jets. Then you'll need filters and main jets.

that would be great thanks, the engine is standard and it has a Laser 4 / 1 pipe on it Is that kit for all 4 cylinders?, it looks like just adding 1 new jet after tapping out a hole, is that it ?, trying to reach Grumpy at the moment but no answer and a full answering machine

I'll have a look when I get to work tomorrow. I might have all the info written down as to the jetting on my 1100 before I swapped my carbs out for slingshot ones. I know I have a ledar air corrector kit in my carby box, but personally have never fitted one. My settings may get you pretty close, but also dependant on variables eg: engine spec, condition of engine, pipe, filters, fuel supply and what have you. I'll let you know later tomorrow if ok? Might save you a bit of faff.

I feel the drizzle nozzle might have come loose in the inner sanctum . Can be rectified by beating the casings with a 2 lb ball pien hammer.

My efe engined bike has a Ledar kit, which is basically the air correctors and bigger main jets (up to 155 from stock 120 = ~30%). Otherwise the carbs are stock. S and B filters and Harris 4 intoi 1 and it runs perfectly. No expensive dynorod kits or even more expensive dyno time. To fit the air correctors requires an M5 blind hole tap, supplied with the kit. https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/115665834446?itmmeta=01HY0V5BMNJNB132AFVB2D97GY&hash=item1aee3891ce:g:tU4AAOSwORJjuWDe&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwMi7%2Bkqf4%2FAkucGupdnfrHcnuD102BgSMqIUX86wY5oM%2BreboW7gna8J4XsCgfo1Fl1--n6dX1TRERojIbu5Eyt3Bpd%2Fj17O8%2FhYxUqhtM0lvfRxNdUPDQx1fDQLgQwRu4K9tODNJ8SNbP5L6KYQGkBVfrIVty4pFpXvtPaIFJAIajiIjRODRc5%2FjtI3C1p9Pk5RRS8kwlI%2F9uxz%2FLsANviZaJh8XZaAlNkf9woilBnt3YC1Ywx1DzQbpVGxwURFdg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7K6lZvwYw

Jaydee,cheers bud ,I'll give this a go

Not really helpful - which ones? Pilot? Air? Needle? Main? This is why jet kits were developed - they done the leg work so they just work more or less from the off!

Bump for arian

Start with 30% bigger jets

ok, it looks quite good in the lower rev area so I thought maybe original cr

Slave cylinder. Typo. C and P are close to V and L on a computer keyboard, respectively

If you fit air corrector jets and bigger main jets (maybe some needle adjustment too), then they should be fine. I think Grumpys supply air correctors for BS carbs. You'd then basically have a LeDar induction kit, one of the greatest inventions known to humanity.

Wtf is a 'space cylinder' ? If you've rebuilt the slave and replaced the line, I'd say you've still got air in there! If the slave piston is pushed all the way in, its real difficult to bleed air out and get fluid in, so its better to start with it about half in with some fluid behind it then connect to the line and master. You won't know if the clutch is dicky until the operating mechanism is working!

Really not advised unless you put a proper jet kit in them - CV carbs mostly don't like the disturbed / unrestricted airflow these give so the jet kit has to mask this and fuel around it. Personally I like Dynojet kits but others are available - and its not 'just a single jet' so DIY solutions are rarely easy / satisfactory.

Hi - been doing a lot of research for my GS no spark issues. A lot of info on past forums here and GS resources. Also got a Clymer manual in addition to the Haynes one. There's a procedure for resistance testing the unplugged signal generator. Each side of the signal circuit should be 60 - 80 ohms. Mine both read 68 ohms. So gave all contacts another clean, retested coil inputs - still the same - primary 12V, secondary signal wire 0V left, 0.5V right. Reassembled all connections, connected 3 and 4 plug leads to plugs and earthed removed 1 and 2 plugs in caps to head. Result - spark. Did the same on other side - spark again. I'm pretty sure if all plugs removed and earthed to head for a start, you don't get a spark. So not exactly sure why there is a spark now, maybe just resolved from cleaning plug connections. Primed the fuel to the carbs and took a while but started fine. Quick test ride and all good. So happy to take it out for ride. Just got a leaking fork seal to replace - but that's easy - not like electrics! Still not sure about the 0.5V on the right hand secondary coil wire? May have always been like it but it runs fine. I had no knowledge of testing ignitor cdi. Thanks for the previous advice.

Not much new on the project, but here’s a YouTube I did as I wait for a few parts…

I am considering putting the individual cone filters on the carbs as it’s so difficult to get them off/ on with the standard system, if I do is there a recommended jet change ?

Aaaa, no its with cylinder spacer.

Hi, I used a 1.5kohm resistor soldered in line on the pink wire to cdi.

Upshotknothole....cheers dude I'll look into it
