    Brings back good memories. I had a '77 GS 750 which I raced in AFM and Manning club races back in the day. Then bought a totaled one and rebuilt it a couple of years later. Rode that thing to Texas and back at one point. Sweet running bikes.

    Man I feel your pain picking that beast back up. I had one in the late 80's, I never should have sold it. So heavy, tho, lolz...

    I had a 83 gs850. I was young and it scared the shit out of me. I sold it after one summer. Wish I never did that.

    I’ve gotten carbs like this before I take them apart as much as possible and dump the parts in 90octane non ethanol for a week take em out and 99% of the time they come apart pretty clean it don’t hurt to put a can of Berryman b12 in the mix

    The 1979 GS850G is a heck of a good bike and you’ve really scored there - but I will say that it would pay to be a bit more methodical when trying to start a new-to-you bike or car. Perhaps check for. Spark at one of the leads and also check to see if there is a clutch lever safety switch…

      It's definitely cool, also a pain in the butt. The 4 carbs are fighting me. Thanks for watching!

    I watched a guy on UA-cam I think she was the bearded mechanic I love the exact same bike you do he bought it real cheap from somebody he took it home and during his disassembly of the carburetors can you just spray WD-40 also spray it into the light switches helps clean up the corrosion and the horn and the starter switch he also sprayed electrical contact spray 2 just thought I'd send that out to you poor future use
