Hello to you all in gs wonderland!
Forgive me for my inability to post or type accurately but this is the first time i've used a message board. yea yea i know, welcome to the information age.....
My Gs, wich i aquired last Sept. to learn to ride on, has a couple of issues. I'll stick to the main one. It doesn't want to run. I went to ride it today and the idle, with choke on full, was 1200RPM. Usually it's 4000RPM. If i gave it throttle it would almost stall then slowly inch up to, but not exceed, 4000RPM even under full throttle.
Now occasionally I would hear a "TST" sound coming from what I assumed was the carbs. In a wouderfull display to show my ingnorance, I pulled the spark plugs and they appeared a deep red. Feeling adventurous (spelling?) I removed the gas tank and air filter. The filter need replaceing badly but there was, what I assume, old varnished gasoline in the bottom of the airbox. The slick was comming from the right carb.
Now my questions are:
1. Are the carbs in need of cleaning and if so what will i be getting my self into?
2. Is my bike running lean, rich , or other because of the condition of the plugs
3. Why is there gass entering the air box when air should be rushing in?
Thanks for any input!!
