super strange i have just bought the same model bike 1983 750 gpz and the carbs are flooding, no high end rev almost like a missing vacuum line. stalls when letting out the clutch. i have been following this thread. great ideas for me to follow. i do see what looks like a second port on the Petcock, vacuum i assume. but where does it go to? is it from the carbs? or another port that is open possibly. i am waiting to hear about a manual from the kawi dealership locally. they told we that most parts are discontinued. on the kickstand switch, i see a bracket that would probably attach a switch but its gone. where would that plug in and can i get a new one? i checked the clutch and found that there were three wires coming out of it. when checking continuity the outer pins had continuity but the middle pin had none. i checked with the clutch depressed and released. no change. is this a magnetic switch? i saw no mechanism perhaps on the inside. my "warning" light is constantly blinking i was told that is was because the battery had not charged. i wasn't sure that was the cause but i didn't argue. Hey Scotauto are you from Califiornia? it seems like i bought your bike. LOL well guy i hope i can get some help on this. i was looking for a commuter bike fairly cheap ($700)and no one called me back. can we make the beast go?
P.S. i am a moderate mechanic with exoperiance in cars/trucks and small engines. but assume nothing and i will make no pretense. i have swallowed my pride a long time ago.
