timing issues

[taylorgaz]

Hi all,
I have an 81gs1000g and need the correct timing procedure. I recently changed the head gasket and put the bike back together but its only running on cylinders 1 and 3 (first two on the left sitting on the bike) I noted the timing marks on the
inlet/exhaust cam sprokets and the valve timing before i took it apart and double checked it but it doesnt seem to be correct. I ordered a manual but got sent an earlier one (77-99) and cant wait anoter two weeks for the proper one. Can anyone give me advice on what the problem might be?...Or maybe someone could post the correct timing diagram/instructions.

Tanks in advance,
Taylorgaz

Yes this. There is a LOT of good info and links in the archives just waiting for people to find. Much easier to do this than start a new thread and then wait for info.

BTW, I don't think Suzuki ever sold an '81 1100G. That might be part of your manual problem.

First two on your left are cylinders 1 and 2, not 1 and 3.

How do you have your ignition connected?

The cam reinstall procedure is the same for all the 8 V 1000s

What exactly is incorrect when you reinstalled the cams?

I think he's prolly just got the coils plugged into 1 and 3, 2 and 4, so isn't firing on 3 and 4.
