gsx550ef missing low revs
hi all, my new gsx550 misses and appears to be firing on three when on idle to fast idle , but once warm, if you crack the throttle open it revs cleanly without missing , and the missing disappears above fast idle altogether, the engine is very sweet and runs cleanly and without any noises, my question is where should i lok for the obvious before tearing things apart ? thanks jon

Let it idle a while and then pull spark plugs to see if one is wet; a while back my vacuum petcock allowed fuel to be sucked down into #2 cylinder ( the one that has vac line) causing a miss at idle,but not noticeable as revs went up.Originally posted by janner View Posthi all, my new gsx550 misses and appears to be firing on three when on idle to fast idle , but once warm, if you crack the throttle open it revs cleanly without missing , and the missing disappears above fast idle altogether, the engine is very sweet and runs cleanly and without any noises, my question is where should i lok for the obvious before tearing things apart ? thanks jon

Another very distinct possibility is the pilot circuit is clogged in one carb.
Might be foreign material in a fuel or air passage, might simply be a mis-adjusted mixture screw.
Yet another distinct possibility is mis-synchronized carbs. One carb might be opening later than the others.
