    Was that because of the roads? I found Holland the most stressful driving in any country that I've driven in because of their bikes/bike path system and the random direction that they can run into you from.

    doing the suggestion that wally made is a slight variation of what we discussed earlier, I would do that and worry about an in line tap once you are running, (saves you peddling about) Give these people a ring, they are close to Amsterdam. http://www.cmsnl.com/about/company/location/

    you will know if the HG was leaking, from sound or mess. maybe vlvs weren't spot on or chipped a vlv who knows? compression test because that's all that's left.

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    ok, from what you say there it's compression. do you block the vacuum tube when you run it with the tank off, with a dry new fresh known working plug?
  9. T

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    disconnect it from the tank, do the unflood procedure I explained and swap plugs, see what happens, remember you have only a carbful to accomplish this, if you cant then be prepared to fill the carbs down the tube without using the tank. TBH I don't think this is it, but it's cheap and easy. I...

    No prime position? Then don't cut the pipe!

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    that is not a problem in itself, But just to eliminate,...You need to block off that pipe, cut it in half and poke a 6mm screw in the two open ends, or cut it short enough to get a screw in to block it off tank end, and then block the piece leading down to the carb. (Leaves you with an option...

    on the vacuum tube?

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    As an aside, when you check this in the field, unplug the carb end and suck, if you get fuel in yr mouth it's bad, squinting down the pipe from the other end means nothing as it's an open hole

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    Ok, now you have eliminated ignition. That's it and it's conclusive! The engine runs on the other cylinders so it's not a timing issue. the plug is wet, so you have fuel, You know it's not plug because you have swapped/put new. Check th compression in the way I explained

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    Ok, take the cap off, so that the wire is bare, hold the wire about 4mm off the plug top and start the engine, you will see the spark.

    Not the carb diaphragm, the one in the fuel tap

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    Compression tests can be inconclusive if not done in the correct sequence, hot engine, full open throttle, Crank over, (best pull all the plugs out to maximise efficiency of speed and battery conservation) To get a better idea of where the leak might be: a couple of squirts of oil down t plug...

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    You say you have swapped 2 with three and there was no difference in running, so that eliminates spark problem. that leaves compression, very small chance of fuel but that is also very unlikely in view of your previous comments.

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    Habsdoc is right, vacuum line can get fuel if the diaphragm is leaky

    1980 GS550E Electronic ignition .... issue

    plug 2 is wet, you got spark. again, it only leaves compression. How did you/the guy check your compression?
