    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    That is my understanding of its operation and how I have it setup. The plunger is not all the way out with the pin tightened up against it and the locking nut tightened against the pin, because if it were, then it is now a manual tensioner. The pin is now just slightly away from the flat part of...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Doesn't this turn the tensioner into a manual tensioner if the plunger is all the way out and now prevented from going back in because of the pin?

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Today's update: I took the Carbs apart while I await new o-rings for the Vacuum Tees. The o-rings on there now are new but those Tees seemed loose to me and they may have been leaking air contributing to my hard start issues. Cylinders 1 and 4 won't ignite when I was trying to start the bike...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Tonight's update: I was able to get five valves clearances within spec and I will need three shims. Cylinders 1 & 4 are out of spec (Cyl 1 EX and Cyl 4 EX and IN). I checked compression today and they were; #1 @ 130 psi, # 2 @ 135 psi, #3 @ 135 psi and #4 @ 140 psi. I did the test with the...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    I used metal restore on the tank. I soaked it for about 2 weeks. Its sitting now empty and I will examine it before I put it back on the bike. I am using an Aux Tank to try and get her running.

    I will try using them again before I let them go.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    This is what I have been trying but that pushrod does not trigger with a 1/4 or 1/2 turn out. It works flawless until I actually put it on the bike. I will try again.

    Hello from TX

    Welcome You did excellent work!! It will be a head turner I'm certain of it after seeing the others.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Update!! I checked the valve clearances and they are all off. Exhaust 1 is too tight and all of the others both Intake and Exhaust are too slack. This made me mad as hell so I stopped what I was doing and went over to the machine shop to give them the "business". I wasn't even offered so much...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    It is the reason for the damage to the cylinder head. At some point it failed the PO and as a result I am now $400 vested in the head. I don't want a repeat of this under my ownership which will be forever. I have the stock tensioner and another I bought off Ebay for $10.00. I read up on the...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Hey Steve I bought the bike in non-running condition. I don't know if and when it last ran and before 2 days ago I had never heard it run. The Carbs were completely torn apart, soaked for days and all o-rings as well as the fuel inlet Tee were changed. It was a rusty mess and everything was...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    It has been 10 hours since I tried starting the bike and ultimately pulled the carbs. I just pulled the plugs; 1 and 2 were black and wet while 3 and 4 were brownish and dry. Tomorrow I do a compression check to ensure all is well with each cylinder.

    I did get one today but the bike wont run long enough to even use it. I hope I didn't do damage when I ran it in the garage without a fan.

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Carbs Overflowing into Airbox.

    Folks The bike's Carbs and exhaust are stock, I am using the factory Airbox as well. I just had the Cylinder Head redone and valve clearances were set at the machine shop to be within spec once they Cam Caps are torqued to spec. I may have to recheck this for myself. The Carbs have been...

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Restoration (No Budget Resto)

    I'm going to give it the same treatment as I did on my 89 K5Blazer and hit the carbs/throttle body with some break cleaner as it runs to find any vacuum leaks. I initially set each air screw @ 1.5 turns out from close but she didn't start even with full choke. I then moved to 2 turns out but she...

    I got the wires correct and it runs now but not great at the moment. It needs carb or airbox troubleshooting. See video below. https://youtu.be/DY2cy5KaB_A

    1982 Suzuki GS1100G Restoration (No Budget Resto)

    Yes, that is correct on the carb port being plugged as i am using the Aux tank. The intake boots have all new o-rings so I suspect its likely the airbox. the carb was cleaned and sealed up and has no fuel leaks. I did change airbox based filter to a K&N filter inside but the boots on there are...
