    Gs 550 carb Adj

    in Air Cooled

    Posted

    Got some Gs 550 vm carbs running k&n and after market 4into1 swapped out jets book tells me air screw should be 2 turns out as a start point .

    It also states Fuel screw is set at factory and shouldn't be moved, "well that ship has sailed"

    I was thinking 2 turns out as well any advise would be great .

    What model clocks are they? I only have experience with EFE clocks, which are easy to split and once this is done the gear indicator is held in, I think, with 2 self tapping screws. The wiring is seperate from the rest of the clocks and it just lifts out. The wiring block connects directly to the wiring block from the black, circular plastic thingy that incorporates the neutral switch. My guess is all GSX1100 or similar gear indicators are interchangable but I do not know this for certain.

    It a gs 550 I have with  the block number not the 1-6 .

    So a efe uses the same gear indicator?

    The gear indicators from aircooled clocks can be removed as a unit so one may be obtainable cheaply from an otherwise knackered set of clocks. I have one waiting to go on my aircooled bike from a smashed set of EFE clocks but I haven't got round to fitting in over the last 12 years.

    Tell me more ! I have a gear indicator that's not right .

    The GS550L (cruiser style with stepped seat and chrome rear fender) came with a chromed wrap around grab bar.  I could take one from an '81 GS550L and see if it will fit up to my '78 GS550E.   Just give me a few days; we're recovering from the effects of an ice storm.

    Cheers Poldark, I've tried a 650L grabrail and it was too narrow I'll put it on the back burner for now!

    And hopefully some thing pops up .

    PS. Do you have an XJ?

    did the 550 come with a grab rail ?  or you mean the one on the left for lifting the bike up on its stand ? 

    I'm not sure .I've got a lift handle for it, but I've seen a couple of bike with full bars over the tail piece .

    there's a GS on Eblag that has one

    Can any one help would like a Grab rail for a GS 550 Std not custom,

    Seen on a few bikes but can't seem to find one, Seen GT 750 / GT 500 rails for sale contacted seller they were not keen to give dimensions to see if it would fit .

    Bought a couple that looked ok but alas no, so cut one up to see if I could make it fit, all I got is a blunt hacksaw and some expensive scrap . tried looking for someone to make one not much luck. 

    Any help in this matter would be amazing .

    Put a wanted add up also .
