    Put new packing in the muffler.

      Brownford: have been looking for good set of standard exhaust but so far no luck, so the Tranzac pipes was the best option I could find in Aus. The fitted well and work ok for the riding I'm doing, Sunday rides up the blue mountains. 200k

      AussieGS ,Hi Norm, I have rebuilt the carbs,adjusted shims as per the bass cliff info. Carbs have standard jetting ,so far no problems down low ,runs pretty clean through the rev range.

      How is your air filter box?

        gssteve, Im presuming its all good due to the fact the carbs were pulled down and cleaned. They had issues with one of the idle screws and is almost off spring to get it right. They also said compression is down slightly, but not an issue. Also when I shut off the throttle on a downhill, there is a fair bit of loud crackle from the exhaust. I seem to remember my original 1000G in '81 was a lot smoother.

          Have you checked the shims?
          What compression do you have?

          Mine mumbles a bit but no backfiring. Where in Sydney are you?

            I haven't done any of the work on the engine, I trusted the guys at the shop to have covered. They are pretty good.
            I'm on the Northern Beaches (Brookvale) and looking for a tuner that has experience with the GS. Most of the local guys don't want to know about it.
