    One spark plug cap creates weak spark...Why?

    My GS1000G has 3 of the 4 plug caps stock and the other 1 is a NGK cap. This NGK cap creates a very weak spark. I switched the caps around to check if it is something else but the weak spark stays with the NGK cap. The part number is 43010 and 10k ohms is written on it. Why does it create...

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    The air jets are 170. I dont know if it is stock. Is it? They were in the carbs when I got the bike.

    My 4 into 1 cant be packed. The bike runs great with "The new jet sizes are: 110 mains 35 pilot Stock jet needles 2 3/4 turns out on mixture screws"

    The jet needles does not have any clip positions. On the old ones, its the 3rd clip position.

    Runs well but plugs are sooty black. Why? (GS1000 G)

    So I installed the smaller main jets and pilot jets and the new jet needles. The plugs are a nice light brown now. Bike runs great. Only thing is that the idle is a bit weak. When the bike is warm the idle gets stronger. Is it normal on these bikes? thanks for all the previous help and advice.

    I know that the bike ran without an airfilter for an unknown period(the previous owner). I bought the bike with a lot of sand in the airbox without a filter. Would that have maybe grind the needle and cause the bike to run rich due to more fuel being able to pass the needles?

    My father took the bike for a ride and I drove behind him. When he decelerated at about 100km/h, there was a bit of smoke coming out the exhaust. It was a greyish smoke. Not black. Do you think it is oil? It only smokes a little bit on decel and never at low rpm or idle.

    Everything is STOCK and the plugs are firmly installed

    Do you think I can order jets 2 sizes smaller? 110 main and 35 pilot??

    Gave it more slack. The choke did close fully. Why do you think the carbs need less fuel now(smaller jets) because the only thing that is not stock is the 4 into 1 exhuast?
