A little background... Have a 76 GL1000 that was given to me, hasn't been run in years. But the engine was "just rebuilt" according to previous owner. Engine wouldn't spin over with starter. Turned out starter was rebuilt with the wrong brush plate and spun the wrong way (see viewtopic.php?f=26&t=439&hilit=start+spins).
Now, if I let her sit for 10 mins or so, she fires but won't stay running. Seems like poss fuel starvation. Had problem with petcock not flowing and had to rotorooter the lines. Tank does need some cleaning and flushing. Lines, clamps and filter are brand new.
With hose to carbs off of pump, it seems to be outputting fuel fine.
Let me know if this is a good or bad idea... Pull the float bowl drains, pull the hose from the pump, and spray carb cleaner thru.
Probably go over ignition and timing this weekend. Make sure points are set properly. Any good sources on this besides the shop manual?
