Our 84 700 LTD only has 4,000 miles and looks brand new (show room fresh). The dealer that had this bike had been working on the carbs and couldn't get them to stop leaking and gave up on the bike. We acquired it and thought we were smarter than they were (wrong!) and put carb kits in it, reset the floats, etc... and guess what!! the carbs still leak. We then pulled the carbs off of a 650 CSR and now it doesn't run at all. So we are back to the stock carbs and the leaking problem. Have any of you had such problems and do you have any ideas on how to correct the leaking?? Thanks.
A few questions-
Leaking when running or shut down?
Leaking into crankcase or external leak?
1 carb or all?

sounds like new float needles and seats along with a good cleaning are needed. course they'll need to be sync'd. if the petcock is vacuum type it may need a rebuild or a least new vac lines. Check with QKENUF4U or elr658 about rebuilding / sync.

Now, I have a completely different bike that I have questions on. It is a 1982 GPZ1100 with a commemorative Eddie Lawson sticker under the factory clear coat in the center of the tank. I can't find any information on a Eddie Lawson GPZ1100. All I can find info on is the 1000 or the current 1200. Do you by any chance know of a site that I can go to or do you know anything about this bike? It is lime green. Thanks for any insight that you can give me. We are going to be starting on this project soon. mulliganmc

The ELR's were 1000cc bikes. Could have engine swap to 1100cc or be a clone like I'm making. The ELR decal on top of the tank is a repop available from a couple of places.
There are sites for the ELR's, search under Eddie Lawson. There is also a Gpz site but they are mostly about the late model Gypsy's.

So you think that it has been repainted and the sticker put on the tank before the clear coat? And while I am asking stupid questions...do you know how to read a VIN#? Thanks.

may be a clone.

start a new thread about the vin or do a search. pretty sure that question has come up before. i don't know how to decode one.
could you post a pic of the elr?

Or just ask elr658. As he put together his out of the crate in 1982.

without decoded vin, what does it look like to you? elr that someone stuck gpz side cover badges on or a clone?
were elr's dfi?


could you post a picture of your elr?
