    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...

OK silly me. I didn't take a note of the positions of the different lengths of cam cover bolts on my GS1100G 1983.

Can anyone help. There are a some longer ones. Where do they go?

Thanks
 
I don't have an answer for you but I'd check a parts schematic from one of the online parts suppliers, because as I recall they list the bolt lengths for replacement units. edit: I just two site and I was wrong..sorry.

just put them in the holes and swap them round until all the lengths look correct before you screw em down. simples!
 
Install all screws but don't screw them down. Look for any that are sticking up higher or lower than average and swap them around. Before you start threading in all the screws should be sticking up above the cover by roughly the same amount.
 
any holes with dowl's take a longer bolt.
take the VC and drop all the bolts in while holding the VC in the air..
then look at the amount of threads sticking past the gasket surface.
also pay attention to the dowl's i mentioned above.

does the cam cover have dowels in it? :confused:
 
No wonder it isn't running right Richard - every video you do starts with a beer (Badger First Gold today? that'll do..)....and then those pigeons started laughing....:)

Try swapping the plug on #2 - she could have fouled on start up. With the cam rubber leak, before you remove the cam cover try prying the rubber out with your thumb nail and putting it back in again - sometimes they just need a bit of fiddling like that to make them seat properly.
