i ust bought a 91 gsxr750 it starts and idles fine until it is warm then kinda boggs when you blip the throttle. i rode it around the block as soon as i tried to give it any gas it has a major flat spot then i let off it back fires. the previous owner has no clue about whats been done to it. so i dont know if it has any modds other than the yosh can and he had no filters on the carbs of any kind. please help guys i need this bike on the road quick.
 
check your floats and idle mixture screws, and reset them to stock if they're off. when i bought my bike, it wouldnt run past 1/4 throttle. turned out one of my floats was cracked and full of gas, and the others just werent set right.
oh yah, and get a jet kit and filters.

ok so i pulled my carbs off and they have alread been jetted. then i noticed there was no needle hanging down from the slide on the number 1 carb. after takeing it apart i found the needle but the bottom slot where the clip goes is screwed and no one not even dynojet wants to sell me just the needle. so could i install the clip at the second to top notch and try to find a plastic spacer to make up the difference?
 
How is the needle screwed? You could try putting all of your clips on the second notch. The needle controls the midrange and if the clip is on the bottom it going to come in sooner. Most jet kits I have used had the clip in the 2nd or 3rd position. But, this is assuming that your main jet is the right size and you could be sacrificing some WOT midrange by not having that bottom notch as an option. In any case, your bike will run and you will not be harming the engine by doing so. Check out the Factory Pro website as it has a nice little carb tuning page that will help you out while sorting this problem.
