Problem solved... The solenoid was not grounding properly.

Oh man I wish it was that.... No it is in the on position. I checked the float bowls and the fuel seems pretty clean, maybe a small amount of particles in it. I put an ounce of sea foam in the tank and ran it five min or so I will let it sit until I get off work and then give it another ride to...

Sorry to revive an old thread. Getting started on my first bike/build whatever. It is an 1981 GS450L. I like the look of your back fender. Any chance I can get some close up pics of it and under the seat look too. Thanks
