1981 GS750 - Will it run

[@ClassicRider]

The Battery you are using is NG - How about a simple battery charger ? Ignition ? I have two Honda CB750's (1979 and 1981 ) and appreciate your exploratory - The Airbox works the same as my Hondas which run PODS these days - ( you will need to rejet if PODS -( btw: be aware of cheap Ebay boots - they will tear. ) ( btw: Single point of failure - sounds like you are an HA engineer ) -

Once I got a proper replacement battery all was well. I just didn’t have one on hand at first so tried the redneck approach. I’ve read bad things about cheap pods, if I decide to go that route eventually I’ll probably cough up the money for K&N. Not an engineer but I’ve worked with a few :)
