    after 3 months my gs1000 works

    So sometime back in August I bought a GS1000 which was a pig to start in anything less than 20 degrees celsius, infact 18 degrees and lower and it simply would not start.

    Took me many months but I managed to replace and install a Dyna S ignition system, coils and HT wires, I also refitted all the all hoses and boots on the airbox, resoldered all the electrical connections and fixed up the wiring that the PO made an encredible mess of.

    Finally this evening I got everything back together and tried to turn it over. It was 8 degrees celsius, maybe as much as 10 degrees and in a matter of 30 seconds it started, and ran very well. Only because it took me 10 seconds to realize that my choke was open.

    This time there was no backfiring, so seems timing also helped it out a bit too. I am encredibly excited that it worked so well after all the work I have put into it.

    Just a bit more minor work to it to get it into better shape. Need to replace the exaust pipes sometime--eventually. And to get the new stop-light lense (already on order).

    Oh yeah, I also ended up having to fabricate a linkage piece for my carburators. The choke cable hooks into a lever, the lever has a hole on the opposite end which pushes the choke ail, no piece here and I could not find the piece anywhere. I simple used galvanized wire from a hanger and it worked like a charm.

    Anyway, tomorrow I am taking it out for a test drive. Couldn't do it tonight without the stop light.

        Good for you! Let us know if you have any questions.
        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
