HELP!! 1981 gs1000l no spark

[1981gs1100e]

Does it have spark on all 4 cylinders---kinda sounds like it may be running on 2 cylinders ????

Ignition pick-up problems or module problem???

Mine kinda ran the same way as yours before I repaired the ignition module.

All 4 exhaust pipes get hot... it is sustaining a high idle now... about 4k-4300. All 4 getting hot means that it is running on all 4 right?

you should have said you have an inline filter... they are often the culprit for a bad running engine

ditch the filter, you dont need it, the fuel tap already acts as a filter

when the engine warms up, lower the idle to 1000rpm (using the idle knob at the back bottom of the carbs)

erratic idle is a sign of a fuel delivery problem and/or an intake leak

if you really want an inline filter, make sure you buy a "gravity fed" one that doesnt restrict the fuel flow
