    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I did all of the above but they still overflow. I will try some new things on them today.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update - I got the new float needles today and installed them. It didn't solve my issue. I have swapped needles and seats from Carbs 1 and 2 to Carbs 3 and 4, it still overflowed on Carbs 1 and 2. I then swapped floats from Carbs 1 and 2 to Carbs 3 and 4. Now I have Carbs 2 and 4 overflowing...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update - https://youtu.be/0ScSmEbt-hk Worked on the petcock today. I will let it sit overnight and see if it leaks.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update: I tired to seal up Carb 1 but then Carb 2 started leaking as well. Upon closer inspection, its the float tabs that are contacting the valve seats and therefore not shutting off the valves. I bent down the tabs to get the 22.40 mm needed for the float height but seeing that the valves...

    GS100 runs with gas out overflow tubes.

    I am experiencing similar issues but its going into my Airbox. Check yours as well. I now believe it is the float needle valves that are not sealing. Hope the more experienced Member chime in and help you as they have been advising me. Good Luck:biggrin:

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update: I thought I had it all sorted for a good hour but after several restarts which were buttery smooth and easy as cake, did I say easy as cake and I mean easy easy easy, Carb 1 is f@#$%&g leaking. I need to change the float needles. Now I have to find them.....UUUGHHHH. Man I am so...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Ignition System/ Battery, Coils and Signal Generator Check

    Although I was skeptical of the Igniter Box as I could not get a test on it as per the Suzuki Manual, the bike started almost effortlessly. It's now in non-running status as I need to redo Carbs. It sparked on all plugs and each cylinder ignited. I was impressed with the sound (sounded like a F1...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I used a K&L o-ring kit (Ebay) when I rebuilt the Carbs. I won't ever do that again. I noted that not all of the float valve seats were snug while I was disassembling them this time, except for Carb 2 which was snug. I was able to pull the seats out with my fingers very very very easily and then...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    The Auto Tensioner got a good rebuilding and I installed and tested as per the Suzuki Manual page #112. I was able to verify it moves freely on its own via that test the manual calls for. The bike ran good yesterday and I didn't hear any weird noises out of the engine. I was able to use the...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update: The engine was put back together and all valve clearances are finally within spec. I installed the Carbs and Airbox and then attached my Aux Tank. The bike started with full choke and with the Air Screws set @ 3 turns out as suggested by fellow member Steve. It fired up almost...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Ignition System/ Battery, Coils and Signal Generator Check

    Folks So while I am awaiting a 2.70 mm valve shim to show up today to complete the top-end, (https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?259355-1982-Suzuki-GS1100G-Won-t-Run-Hard-Starts&p=2617611#post2617611) I decided to check the coils for resistance and voltage. On the secondary...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Restoration (No Budget Resto)

    I was using a Aux Tank so I plugged the vacuum port on number #2 Carb. I am hoping to test the bike by Friday. I will post an update if I am able to get it sorted. The vent tees have new o-rings and feel much more snug. It's valuable info about their operation that you and a few others have...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Today's Update: I have rebuilt the Auto Tensioner and the Tach Gear Assembly. I installed the Auto Tensioner and tested its operation according to page #112 of the Suzuki Manual. The Carbs are back together and bench synced. The Airbox has been rebuilt as well. I am awaiting the three shims to...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I just looked it up and it is straight forward enough.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    They both spark when I placed a loose plug in them.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    How do I test the coils outside of looking at a plug hanging loose in either wire. I have verified that all plugs spark. Now cylinders 1 and 4 were the two that didn't ignite even with spark. These two cylinders had the tight valves.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I put a new o-ring on the gear shaft outer housing for the Tach and got a new Tach Cable. The two times I had the bike running for a total of 4 minutes or so, I had no leaks. The head is assembled now and I hope it remains leak free. I will get those components!!

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I just read the write-up. I searched for the listed parts (o-rings and oil seal) and I have found them all at Partzilla ($14.00 shipped to me). That's a lifetime of use as I intend to pass all my Girls on to my soon to be born daughter as an old old man. The only difference is my tensioner...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I will today revisit and correct this issue. I would very pay dearly if this is wrong.
