    Weak idle until hot

    I would look up what stock jets are per tge service manual. IFF you dont have STOCK pipes and airbox go up one size on jets. Also i asked what the plugs look like. Sooty is rich and TOO RICH makes it run like crap because it can burn alll the gas. Same with ashy white plugs. too lean and not...

    Weak idle until hot

    Stop fishing. Time to go back to square one and verify everything. Start with cam timing. Valve clearances. Ting advance working right and not stuck and no freeplay in the counterweight springs. Then dynamic timing. Carb sync with guages. Mixture screws set right. Are plugs sooty or ash grey...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    Kiwi.. I get what youre saying. And i imagine position of the T would vary based on stroke length as well. My idea was first to find TDC ( relatively close ) with a screwdriver then view the T mark to see if its close to the timing mark. At least this would give some assurance that possibly the...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    KIWI.. So based on your pics lets just say the one e bought is off a bit. Lets say he rolls it to TDC as close as he can get using a screwdriver to watch piston travel and stops the instant the screwdriver stops. Then notes the T mark is off by 1 mm to the left of the case pointer. My thought...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    One thing Suzuki did that others didnt do was change part numbers on the very identical part from model years. Like say in 82 it was XXXXX-12345 then in 83 they made it XXXXX-12346. Same identical part but 1 number off where as others used the same number through many years until that particular...

    GS850G Won't Start, Electrical Issue, No Spark

    does the end of the crank have the pin that engages on the back of the mechanical unit? Im thinking it does and it engages the stock rotor. Im no expert on mechanical advances but i would have to think they are all the same. To me from a manufacturers standpoint it doesnt make sense to have...

    What are you seeing that im not. Other than post 4 talking about the manual years and post 15 asking about keeping the existing advance mechanism are contradictory. So i also asked what year it is. What im reading isnt conclusive one way or the other to me. So what i want clarified is it an 83...

    As for your question about replacing the signal generator. Yes the stock rotor and pick ups go away along with the igniter box. Wire it like i said above. RED to any switched 12 volt wire. I splice into one of the hot leads going to one of the coils. The black and white wires are the signal...

    what year is it. one post stated it has the mechanical advance..yes? IF SO, you just put their rotor on . Set the F mark on the 1-4 marks on the timing indicator and the rotor should be pointing to the left. If its pointing right refit the rotor on the advance. Then line up the rotor flat metal...

    Dandypop.. heres my angle. WHY spend 100 on anything off ebay and have it be bad or not solve anything when for another 60 or 70 bucks just go dyna and know absolutely youll never have to deal with obsolete ignition crap again. Now if you just wat to spend double eventually them go for it. And...
