Check your fuel petcock vacume line , you may have gas in the vacume line which means the fuel cock is bad and flooding that cyl.Originally posted by Green Farmer View Post1984 GS1100GK newest addition to the heard

There is a lot of gas on the carb.I was thinking it was possibly spark shortage.Comment

Small, just like #3?
Or is this a two cylinder engine?Comment

It is a 78 gs 1000...#2 seems to have the weakest spark...i was trying to think of all scenarios.Originally posted by tkent02 View PostComment

OK, then disregard the thing about the petcock, that's on #3 on your model.
Two and three share the same ignition and coil, if the spark is strong on three and weak on two there is your trouble. See if you have a bad spark plug cap or corroded spark plug wire connections. It also could be the spark plug itself.
Try this, swap the plug wire between 2 and 3 to see if the trouble moves with the wire, or stays with the plug.Comment

what type of carbs are they...cv or slide.
I had the same but with slides. checked all fuel and leccy circuits only to find nmumber 2 slide had dropped slighty so was shut at idle whilst the other 3 had the normal slide gap. all fine when throttle was open though.
just a thought.Comment
