Some people just have the touch?Its amazing how if you take something thats broken apart, then put it back together the same exact way, it works! Me and dad took the petcock off the old GS today, didnt find anything wrong, put it back on and now the bike seems to work just fine. Its been raining here all day so i havent gotten to ride it yet, so im not positive its fixed, but it looks that way. Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions!!
I dont think i ran it low, my fuel gauge doesnt work so i dont know. Either way, i wish it would quit raining so i could really try it out.It could have been clogged. Take a old white T shirt and use it as a strainer to see if the fuel in your tank is dirty.
Did you run your bike low on fuel and did all the trouble start after that.
Yeah it is a great feeling, and nice to have a dad that will come help out!Got be a good feeling! An even better one when your brother is the first to respond to your post!
Its an 83 gs1100g. I dont have any extra parts, everytime something goes wrong i end up buying parts i dont really need, but oh well i guess they will be there when i do need them!
If only it was that easy!Gee, I guess I'm too late. I was just about to suggest you try removing the fuel petcock and then put it back in.
Just remember, if your engine ever seizes on that thing, just take it out of the frame then simply bolt it back in. Should fix it right up.
You will almost definatly need an imact driver to rmove the stator screws. The heads are made of a high grade of butter, and WILL self destruct quickly.Replacing the stator is easy. Make sure and get a new stator cover gasket. An impact driver is of great help in removing the cover screws. You might have a drip pan ready as you should lose a few drops of oil removing it. The wires run to the regulator, and you know where that is. Be careful to route the wires correctly and you're there!
