Finally got my GS fired up. Had to do the valves among fixing all the ABUSE this thing had. Still have quite a bit to do, running it off a plastic lawnmower tank. Need to clean out the tank, go thru the brakes. Front is hanging up. Have a Katana Shock and a Fork brace to put on it. Want to get stiifer springs for the forks. Tires of course. I know i'm ranting, but i'm just happy as hell to get it running.
Quick question though. I don't have the airbox on it, but it seems to be running lean. Is this normal without the airbox on?
Well, back to the shop . :cheers:
stock exhaust?
Vance and Hines.
congrats on getting it running...can you describe why you think its running lean? You check the plugs?
It will run lean without the airbox as there is less restriction to the air flow.

Yea, the plugs are pretty light colored. Did go thru the carbs before I ever did the top end.
I figured it would run lean without the airbox, just wasn't sure how much. Have too much time and money in this thing to do any more damage.
