I was looking at Nissan.

a car one won't fit !!!!!    

how does a bigger bore make it easier to bleed ?  just use one from a modern-ish bike like a bandit for example. 

[Can't get ignition timed, points worn to much?]

points gap isn't critical but the dwell angle is,  try adjusting the gap on the points that are out and see if the timing comes right. 

it could be after market points that are just shite !!!!!

Oh dear, Just mounted as you directed and hey presto! neutral light came on. Also gave myself an uppercut. I had thought about this way but didn't think it correct as a large part of the contact is exposed.

Anyway thanks for the responses. I can progress now.

I'm putting her back to original and will post pick when finished. Taking a long time, for example I sourced an original exhaust out of Houston Texas and it needs to be re-chromed.

we all have a brain fart moment sometimes

Good evening Gents ,

I went to start my 1982 Gsx1100e I haven’t used it for a couple of months. So I switched it to prime, when it started I turned it to the on position, but fuel was pouring out of all four carbs, and only stopped when I turned the ignition off. I was thinking fuel tap problem, unlikely all four floats are stuck, what do you think.

regards Rod.

if its coming out of the overflows on all 4 then it might be worth tapping the carb bodys with with a rubber mallet to free the float needles

Seems to imply you have a fuel pump! And if so either the pressure is too high or all 4 float jets are compromised!

I think he means the prime position on the tap.

Is there a part number on your neutral switch?

According to the parts fisch the switch should look like this. which puts the pickup in the correct position.

[Oil cooler Alternates]

knowing how to work on a bike takes time and experience, your best to start with the basics like servicing and minor adjustments.  do you know someone who knows bikes and who can show you stuff ?

I have to be creative with the frame.

I already have a plan

 

I was busy aligning the chain, and I noticed it has to come out a bit, almost at the end of the shaft

this is what happens when you get greedy with your 6inches  I'm happy with my 5.5inches   

[GS1000 front sprocket max ofset]

I can't see an extra 5mm making any difference to the bearings !!!!  but have you got enough room at the frame pivot area ? 

[1978 GS1000 Gear shift cam problem]

is the bike definitely in neutral and not in a false neutral ?

yeah if the mileage is going down then the clock is being driven backwards,  is it defo the right speedo drive at the wheel ?
