I have a 1979 suzuki 750gse. I stored it last year and took out the battery and ran it dry at least i thought i did. Is anyone here proficient with carburetters and can clean/ recondition and synchronize them. I spoke to a suzuki mechanic in arkport who told me most likely the pilot jets are plugged. I attempted to run some carb cleaner through the gas but to no avail. It also backfires and sputters and will not idle. i have an estimate for about $300 for all 4 carbs, taken down, hot tanked and synced, 4 hours of labor plus tax and maybe parts. I did check the plugs and 3 of them are shitty looking so i cleaned them up, got it to run for about 2 minutes then nothing since. can anyone halp? please? ---

I’ve never worked with a carb before, but in the future some fuel stabilizer will help. Even if you run it dry, pour the recommended amount in the tank and then run it dry. ---

If you were in Buffalo, I’d do it for you.
