Plug caps, try swapping them around & see if the issue moves with them.

Thanks Gixer1460 & Swiss Toni, I have them all.

It's mostly for the lighting circuit, I think most colours will be the same on the 750/1100s of the same era.

Many thanks, could I try the Kat one?

Does anyone have a diagram on file that they could share? Thanks.

If the plug is dry after driving it then it's not getting fuel. Strip the carbs again.

Not sure how close the 550 frame is to 750 but the 1100 A/C engine fits easily in a 750.

Thanks :-)

Does anyone with a GS750/1100ET 7/11 know if the head & barrels can be removed with the engine in situ? I suspect the mounts may have to be removed to lower it but having never tried I'm not sure.
My old girl cold seized when I foolishly left it for a few years without oiling the bores first. I freed it off but it has been a bit oil thirsty ever since so it may be time for an 1170 & a head freshen up.

Get a flex head magnet and stick it in there, might save you a job.

The USA called it a GS, I'm not sure if there was a 16v custom officially imported but may be wrong.

From memory there were issues with early DJ kts when the needles were turned leaving microscopic machining marks that acted like a tiny file hence the worn emulsion tubes. They later made them by drawing from solid leaving a smooth surface.

You can split & re rivet a std chain, I've done dozens of them. You can buy a splitter for cam chains, google it & you'll find them.

I think this colour is candy gypsy red but can anyone confirm? I picked this NOS tail piece up intending to have it painted black to match the current bike but it's such a lovely colour I might get the bike painted to match it! Just found the part number 45510-45001-00J but I don't know if any of the number denotes a particular colour.

Have you got sparks to 1&2 but not 3&4?

Welcome, not many left as tidy as that.

EFE in a Kat all day long. Keeps it period.

Oh & drain the carbs regardless.

E10 is the devils work, stick to E5 & if you're parking the bike up over winter either drain it or fill to the brim & put fuel stabiliser in it.

try to find a set of kat 400 rims, much lighter than the stock snowflake rims, but the same snowflake pattern so almost indistinguishable from stock (tho 18 inch front not 19 inch) but as well as being tubeless, theyre loads wider so can take wider tyres and the front can carry much bigger disks so youve still got the stock look, bot everything is improved!
Great idea thanks, I'll start looking.
81 gs850g Misfire Question
in Air Cooled
Posted
If you can get it to misfire when rigged up with an auxilliary fuel tank you can gently pull the plug cap away from the plug (using plastic grips unless you want a shocking experience) slightly extending the gap between plug & cap increases resistance which in turn makes a fatter spark, if your misfire clears up you may well have a duff cap/HT lead but it can also be things like low compression or poor fueling. You can eliminate the plug cap by sticking a paper clip up the HT lead & twisting it round the thread of the plug.
