    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Any Ideas?????

OK got the sync goin, cant get 2 to come up....gets close but not there. I am using my tank off the bike attached as if it were on the bike...Will that make a difference? 1,4 are in order just above 3 ,2 just below its also having a rough time idling.... and It wont rev very well either.. what is going on? :x :x
 
Just for comparison sake a gs1150 is set with 2/3 lower by half a bubble or so...thats by the shop manual. I got a idea you have partially fouled the plugs. Its easy to do with one idling for a period of time. You shouldn`t have a fuel problem unless your petcock is a vacum one...a long extension might not open the petcock. If its got prime I would use that. good luck
 
I can run the tank on prime but then it floods(as expected) I am a little confused on what you mean. But I think I gat it.. the manual I hae says the same as the 1150... So whats the best course of action?
 
Check the simple things first: Did you plug the vacuum line that serves the petcock?
 
no on the plug the petcock line.. I was using it to control the pectock to flow the fuel.. is that a nono???? Also what effect will battery charge have on the way it runs during the test?? i have not hooked up my r/r yet (also have no draw other than ignition no lights, horns etc)... Anyways I was kinda hoping this would be easy.. oh well :roll: :roll: :(
 
ok yall a little maintanance update.. pulled the plugs. still ooking them up in the index but ill tell yall how they look. 1- black, dry little white cap on the stem slightly shiny on the electrode; 2- black almost powdery dry;
3- clean as a whistle almost looks unused ;4- clean as a whistle dry. Now all these plugs were brand new have 0 miles and maybe 2 hours on them.
3,4 although very clean have been burning(light soot in the base.. Well back to the drawing board!!!! :cry:
 
Still sounds like you`ve got needle and seat problems. Might have to go back in those carbs. If its stock I would set the carbs like the manual says. On a modified engine I just set them even all the way across.
 
somebody please give me a different answer!!!!! :P I have been in these things 2x in as many weeks.....Ihope it aint that. If it is what do I need to adjust?
 
I am ata loss.. Dont really want to tear open these carbs again and wouldnt know what to change if I did! !!!HELP!!!
 
Nope, shouldn't need to plug the petcock vacuum line if you are using it to operate the petcock; I missed that in your post. Other than leaking float needles/seats, are you sure the choke plungers for cylinders 1 and 2 are fully closed? (called 'Grasping at Straws to give you a different answer')
 
even on prime it should NOT flood the carbs. If you have cleaned the needles? did you change the O ring on the seat? If you have and they still leak You need to replace them. CLean the plugs and re sync the carbs. Also have you done a compression test??
 
You have to start with No 2 carbie to sync them. Get #2 to where you want it, then adjust the others ( first #1 to #2, then #3 to #2, then #4 to #3).

Hope this helps.
