Missing a beat !

[bsa250]

Hi Folks

I recently purchased a GS 1100 1995 it needed TLC to bring up to

decent running mode.

So far so good, short runs no prob's long runs starts to miss a beat on tickover

roughly anything above 1500 runs a treat excellent bike !

Downside is normal running temp on tickover seems to miss a beat almost to stall

then pickup, anyone give any pointers ?

Have you given it a FULL service prior to using it ??

Sounds like it needs one.

Hi Tarka,

Well I replaced the fuel filter when I repaired the the tank sender unit,

and replaced oil and filter, saying that air filter still in situ and plugs are the

same, I checked them they are the three prong variety type which looked in

good nick to me.

What I cannot understand is above tickover it runs a dream !

Many thanks Mack....

try balancing the throttle bodies with the bleed screws.

There`s more to a full service than changing the fuel filter,oil filter and engine oil.

As Cookie suggests,the throttle bodies will need balancing too.

There`s more than that though,and I still recommend completing the all the service requirements... valve clearances,air filter,new plugs,etc.

You can`t really start looking for problems unless everything`s been done, as a fully serviced bike at the correct settings is a 'datum line' .

Hi Folks thanks for the info,

Balance the throttle bodies with bleed screws ?

any particular method of doing this, and before I attempt the former I shall

get the air filter etc and other service items.

And thanks again for the input

Best regards Mack....

Hi bsa250,

If after your service it still occurs try some injector cleaner. It worked for my mate on his 1150 with simular problem.

Cheers
