    I tested the coils and one of them is bad. I'm going to go ahead and replace both along with new wires and spark plugs.

    Hey guys, I know it's been a while but work has been crazy the last couple months. Bike is still not running believe it or not. It starts but it revs itself. Usually idles fine and all of a sudden it will just start climbing. Also, if I gov it gas it just sticks and will not come down unless i...

    Well thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look at that. I looked at the main jet and it was really clean so the issue wasn't there. Carbs look fine. I have an exhaust leak so I will fix that next and see what it does. Yesterday I finished the body work on the seat and I painted it. I also got...

    Bike is driving me nuts. It idles fine with choke. Once it warms up and I take the choice off it dies and if I get it to go on without the choke it will all of a sudden start revving to 5k. I bought new boots thinking it was a vacuum leak but now I'm thinking it's either the main jet being dirty...

    he was one of the guys that bailed on me because he was busy so I know he's had a lot of work in the past couple weeks. But it's true that I sort of didn't have any other choice. I like the story though, haha very cool way to look at it.

    1981 Suzuki GS750 Cafe Racer Build

    ok thanks for clearing that up guys. I think I can do that myself then. I just want a mechanic so I can get this thing running because I've tried everything possible to MY knowledge. Still haven't heard from the guy so I'm in search of a new mechanic still

    I haven't been able to get a hold of the mechanic so I guess this weekend will be me giving it another shot. Not sure what's going on with the bike but I'll check the electricals and probably call dynojet to see if I did the rejetting correctly. Good thing it's going to rain all weekend. That...

    1981 Suzuki GS750 Cafe Racer Build

    that's awesome! I got mine within an hour of the guy posting it on craigslist. I went over there, looked around, drove it and just handed the cash. I had a 2001 saab 93 and some guy offered me more than what I bought it for so I handed the keys over. Spent 3 weeks without a car waiting for...

    I actually got it in the fall and I've been so into the bike that I haven't looked up anything for the car. Which supercharger?

    Talked to the mechanic and he said he will call me early next week to arrange a pick up date. Soooo I decided it was a good time to clean the shop and tools (don't sand bondo inside, terrible idea). Maybe I'll start turning some wrenches on the E46 this weekend. I haven't touched it since I got...

    1981 Suzuki GS750 Cafe Racer Build

    Thanks I put a lot of effort into it! I'm going to see if he's ok with me being there but I'm handing it over because I want him to check shims, compression test, and things that I either don't feel 100% about doing myself or simply don't have the tools for. I could buy the gauges for the engine...

    I'm planning on sending the bike in to get it tuned and get the carbs adjusted soon. I adjusted the floats since they were a bit high but I'm still having the electrical issue. I finished polishing the tank it looks great. Also did the upholstery for the seat that will go on as soon as I finish...

    1981 Suzuki GS750 Cafe Racer Build

    I think the issue I was having was an exhaust leak since 2 of the bolts were broken off where they connect to the engine. I was so excited to try to start it that I forgot to fix those haha. Anyways, they should be fine now. I'll try to start it again in the next couple days. Here are some of...

    Alright guys! I got my rick's motorsport starter solenoid today so I popped it in and I got the bike turning over! However now I'm looking into another issue. I got the bike to start but it will only stay running if I hold the starter button. It's also running at really high rpms. It even shot...

    Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. I already sanded some sections so I can use them as ground point. I ordered an aftermarket solenoid from Rick's because I couldn't figure out the wiring for the DCC universal one. I tried contacting them but no reply. Part should be in by monday. I...
