550 stalls after it is warmed up

[Anonymous]

My GS 550 runs great but it continually stalls after downshifting and when coming to a complete stop. Happens after driving for 1 minute or even after driving 20 minutes. I can't figure out what is causing it. Just cleaned all the carbs. I wondered if there is a carb adjustment, maybe that would fix it?? Any suggestions?

Is the inside of the tank free of rust/sediment?

Is it idling too low? Adjust the idle adjust screw underneath the carb rack.

How's the air cleaner? Clean and re-oil.

You might try Berryman's B-12 Chemtool carb cleaner. I cleaned my carbs but still had problems. 3 ounces of this stuff in a 3 gallon tank of gas cured it. Get it at Auto Zone for under $3.

Sounds like your flooding out. Does gas leak from the airbox drain tubes? Mileage down? black smoke when idling?

Carb cleaning might be in your future but until then try this: Spray carb cleaner down the fuel line and letting it run out of the carb drain holes at the bottom of the bowls. Run the bike out of gas before doing this so there is less mess. Use rags to catch all this stuff so it does not get onyour cases.

I had the same problem and this fixed it.
