Hi Guys Thanks so much for your help Got the problem sorted and was shagged brushes in the starter motor. Now ticking over fine - almost endlessly. I think I have fuel problems now............ runs sort of on # 3 and 4 cylinders (left to right) #1 and 2 plugs seem dry but with good spark. A couple of questions I have an in line fuel filter from the main supply that seems half full - is this correct Also how important is the fuel cock as was fairly corroded - it seems sometimes fuel is overflowing out the rear of the # 3 carby (airbox junction) I dismantled and cleaned and improved a bit but am I correct in saying the vacuum supply hinges on the fuel cock being 100% Photo below shows the project............. Cheers and thanks again for your help

I have a 1983 GSX 1100 that I have just done up and now suffering start up electrical problems Have a new wiring loom and all components work - ie lights, indicators etc Problem is with a new battery I go to try to start, starter motor ticks over but power goes within 10 revolutions or so - "flat battery" It is a CDI machine, has a new rectifier, signal generator, CDI unit but somewhere I am losing serious amps / battery energy........... have checked grounding on all replaced / crucial components. The generator unfortunately (which has 2 wires connecting to the rectifier and 1 to the RH starter switch) are all black. So cannot easily connect to the correct wires. Is this connection sensitive (in terms of wire colours to rectifier) Any other ideas - any help appreciated Cheers Gregg
