    82 GS1100E pod filter adventure/problems

    Thanks for your reply. I really thought it would be done when it was on the lift and we started it up the first time..ran so good... When i actually tried to ride it, though, it felt like it was sucking air and not going anywhere fast. Then i got the cheap pods and had to notch them and it was...

    82 GS1100E pod filter adventure/problems

    Ok,,, i think what I will do is put the 45 pilot jets in, leave the needle shims as they are (they have an additional shim over stock), and turn the mixture screws in half a turn (like i said before, they said to back the two middle cylinder carbs out an extra half a turn or maybe a full turn...

    82 GS1100E pod filter adventure/problems

    Motor completely stock... Vance & Hines street exhaust with baffle... K&N pod filters (not yet installed). I am going to pull the plugs when i get back to the bike, and see what turns up... I think the bike is fuel starved, rather than rich. Will post what i find out. Actually, the Sigma...

    A few weeks ago, i posted about the wiring issues that I had with putting together a bike that i had to take completely apart, powder coat the frame, and then put it all back together.

    In the last thread I posted, i was having problems with figuring out the wiring in the headlight bucket. I got that all straight, i think. I dont have a motor in the bike, but i put a new battery in it so i could test everything electrical. Though i have not gotten all the "dash" lights...
