What is the problem..need to ride

[Daddio87]

i pulled my bike apart to fix the gaskets in them..only the main gaskets not the valves or any of that stuff. when i put my bike back together only the 2 right pipes are getting hot while the other 2 (left) are not at all..the bike wont stay itelling but will run on choke..tried taking it for a ride but every time i went to go it stalled out...could it be my timing on the bike (thought i did it right followed directions) could it be my carbs (they where fine before hand) could it be compression, spark..what???? need to get back on the road...and oh yeah, missing bike week RIGHT NOW...ahhhhhhh

What bike do you have?

On my 82 GS1100GL the left coil going to 1 and 4, right coil to 2 and 3.

Howdy!
It would be best to check a shop manual for your specific bike, Basscliff has one for a bunch of different GS's on his website, follow this link http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff, and maybe edit your signature line under your user profile to include your bike info so you don't get tons of messages asking what we are working on.

If your bike is a four cylinder GS, there will be two cables coming from each coil. I believe that the coil on the left side of the bike (while sitting on it) will have one spark plug wire going to #1, and one to #3, while the right side coil will have one going to #2, and one to #4.

It's been a while since I've mucked about with the coils on my bike, but I believe this should be correct, but without knowing which bike we are talking about, it's impossible to be sure.

Best of luck,

its a 82 suzuki gs650gl

Typically left coil is 1/4 and right is 2/3

Also hit up your user CP and add your bike in the signature along with years and mods. Helps us trouble shooting your bike.

According to the following wiring diagram, from BassCliff's site, your 1982 GS650GLZ or GS650GLD will have one coil feeding spark plugs 1 and 3, then the other coil feeding spark plugs 2 and 4.

I hope this helps, and let us know how it turns out, or preferably, turns over.

Hi,

The plugs are not numbered in that wiring diagram.

It is true that the left coil feeds #1 and #4, the right coil feeds #2 and #3.

What "main gaskets"? Head gasket? Base gasket? If so, you had to remove the cams and time them again during installation. Why not adjust the valves? Did you clean the carbs?



Thank you for your indulgence,
