1983 suzuki GS750 ED Why no fuel flow from carburetor to engine?
Probably a bad fuel petcock on the bottom of the tank. It is vacuum operated so it will not flow fuel unless the engine is running. (Safety feature) My older '79 GS has a "prime" setting on the petcock that allows the fuel to bypass the vacuum shutoff and run straight into the carbs (thus filling the floatbowls should the engine not be able to start due to lack of fuel in the carbs.) Either you have a bad petcock or you are checking it in the "ON" position. If you have "prime" it should flow fuel without a problem. If not there may be dirt in the petcock or other internal problems. Hope this helps. Mark in NE Indiana. _____ I just fixed my 1983 GS750E which had a fuel flow issue with the petcock. After disassembly of the petcock it was found that the fuel valve o-ring would tack itself to the sealing surface, thus, not allowing fuel to flow.

Off. If this is left on, it can allow fuel to enter the cylinders which can wash down the cylinder walls and even contaminate the oil.

What does the letters eri on a motorcycle petcock mean?
I think you may find that the letters ar Pri - Prime - the position of the petcock that will allow fuel to flow freely all the time. Should only be used when the carbs are empty of fuel (eg when carbs have been drained or bike not run for some time. Leaving the petcock in this position may lead to hydraulic lock in the cylinders if your carb float valves do not seal perfectly. So only use it in this position to refill carbs if they were thought to be empty.
