The Kat's not well

rule #1... come on guys what is it? if it aint............
while you lot are thinking about it Ill just atend to the internet cheif of police

So have you replaced the air filter yet? Its been sitting for 5 years, have you fitted an inline fuel filter? Could be a lot of crap floating around (and not all of it is in this thread, ya know )

yes K&N fitted and fuel line is sweet not a scaret of shit even on the tank filter.

Now... today after the batt was on charge over night I did another comp test and all 4 pots were withen 12psi so I didnt worry about the oil thing
170
158
158
170
I have no idea why the 1st 3 tests had #2 at a lower comp but all seems well now.

Ok sooty pulg, well after putting cleaned plugs back in and having a wee spin around the hills I wiped the plugs out and what ya know #2 is sotty again... now the fuel tap is on prime and the dia hose is blocked off so thats that theroy of #2 running rich out the door.

Ok so ring about Repcos for the correct plugs 8 not 9 temp and man... why the hell do they only stock ONE plug at each store.
New plugs in and still 5-6rpm it wont pull.

Figgered fuk it had enugh so I put it all back togeather including the filter air box lid on for the 1st time.
One last blast and yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaa, it runs sweet as, pulling right through the rev range.

SO if it aint broke dont fix it... well in this case put the bloody air box lid back on

nope you'll have to spell that one out 4 me.

I fitted K&Ns to my GS1000 and spent hours and hours fucking around, main jets, pilot jets, pilot jet settings, air screws, needle heights, in the end I got pissed off and put it back to original and all easy!

was it at running temp when u did the tests?

Wet black sooty or dry fluffy? Dry and fluff is normaly the carb, wet black is normaly caused by oil. It can get past the rings or valve guides. There are little black cap things that go on the top of the valve guide that some times shag out.

Ok so ring about Repcos

Repco is the most expensive place for plugs anywhere. I use a place in New Lynn that is half the price (yes half!)

ahhh that would be the first rule!

I didnt do the 4 pod filters just the replacmet filter in the 2nd air box, remember this was doing the 5-6rpm thing before the filter was replaced... as it was so dirty (spiders and all kinds a shit in it) I left the lid off to help it breath.

When I got my GS it ran like shite and was super rich on low throttle on pots 1 & 3. I checked the pilots and air screws and they were all over the place. I farked around with 1.5 out on both and then just did air screws - no difference. 1 & 3 always ran super rich.

I then pulled the carbs out (I'd like to meet the wanker at suzi who designed the gap between the carbs and airbox on a GS - guess he left there about 25 years ago!).

Anyway stock main jets, slide heights roughtly the same (gave them a tweak), and same pilots.

I then checked the floats and the tangs on the floats 1 & 3 were visually "bent" cf 2 & 4. I then bent them the same as 2 & 4 and hey presto! Took a bit of tweaking to get the same measurment of float height to the carb.

Awesome, Ill come out Sat and see you thrash Kickaha, maybe.

We have the technology to tickle up your brakes mate... some new seals, pads, and some 5.1 fluid and you'll be pulling up as good as is possible with those units

done the above apart from the 5.1 fluid... whats that about and were do I get it? thought DOT4 was... well, you know all there was.

[imdying]

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are interchangable, and have progressively higher boiling points. DOT 5 is a silicon based fluid, and stay the hell away from it. You can buy 5.1 pretty much anywhere.

you forget I'm in a win win situation, if you beat me well you are riding a motorcycle with TWICE the cubic capacity of mine you'd have to be pretty crap not to, if I win well then obviously you can't ride for shit

If it was a real mans bike, you wouldnt be allowed to own one
