    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I bought GS1100G and heard it start up when I first bought it but it was on jumper cables, so since then I've bought a new battery, then it had the symptom of leaking oil out of the airbox which made since to the fact it would only run on PRIME, since then I bought and replaced intake manifolds, cleaned carbs 2X, cleaned airbox, and airfilter, also bought a brand new Vacuum petcock and it rode fine from home to work but on the way back it was sputtering and backfiring the whole way had intermittent power. Which was the symptom prior to buying the $45 petcock. Also noted I changed the oil and pouring in the correct amount did not even register so I trusted the sight glass and filled it to where it was full on level ground. I'll have to check but manual says 3.6 with filter change ?
Anyways I'm stuck.
 
I would have to check the manual (hint, hint) for an 1100, but my 850 takes 3.9 quarts for an oil change. I don't worry about measuring the .9 and just dump in the entire gallon. I don't see the 1100 taking much less, if any, than the 850.
