    GS1100E fuel level sender float retention?

    The plastic float came off the gas tank level sender and was banging around in there. I successfully fished out the float. I'm going to have to pull the tank and remove the sender unit to reinstall the float. What I can't figure out is what holds the float on the rod? In the schematics I've...

    GS Front Fork Swap

    I made my own anti-dive block offs. Sonic straight rate springs, gold valves, just a great setup. Transformed the handling of my GS11E. If anti-dive was a good idea, we'd still be seeing it on modern bikes. It went away for a reason.

    Another one… ‘83 GS1100E Restomod

    Nice work. With the smaller front wheel, do you think you'll be scraping the ground while cornering?

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    What you're describing sounds to me like a needle issue. Try raising your needles one position (lower the clips one slot down on the needle). I think that is going to help you. I had to raise my needles two position from the initial setting recommended by Dynojet.

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    So I pulled the carbs again last night and went through number 3 completely and verified that all three bypass ports were open. One of them may have been at least partially obstructed. Test rode it this morning and it's much improved. Still an occasional stumble off idle but far better than...

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    Alright guys, an update on this issue. I went up to 55 pilots and no change. I procured an infrared thermo gun and sampled the header temps at the exit of the exhaust ports. Cylinder 3 was less than half the temp of the other cylinders at idle. Aha, I thought, there's an obstruction in the #3...

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    I did try the highest RPMs method with the 50s two days ago but in the <4 turns out range I was not getting a valid test (couldn't get the idle to go down due to excessive richness). Which seems to support the idea of moving up one more pilot size so that the mixture screws have some effect...

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    I applied the tape per the DynoJet tuning guide. They advise either adding tape or removing filters completely to diagnose the carb circuit you're working on as a quick way to go in the right direction without pulling carbs to rejet each time. It's a good idea, I like it!

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    The BS34SS kit comes with an optional pilot air jet that can be used to lean it out if your pilot circuit is too rich. But I was definately way lean with the 45s and the 47.5s so I didn't use it.

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    Very good point on air filter oiling! I was messing with the bike just a bit ago and it crossed my mind to pull, clean, and reoil my APE pods. I will try that and let you know. One thing I did tonight is turn the mixture screws out to 4 turns (which is wide open on the 50 pilots for all...

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    I will try that. Does anyone thing there is value in resynching the carbs at a lower rpm?

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    It's surprisingly good the way it is. The slight stumble that sometimes occurs is a minor annoyance. I like tinkering with it so will likely keep at it until I get it 100% perfect.

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking about the float level height and how that might affect the pilot circuit. I've been playing with fuel screw settings with the 50 pilots. I've tried from 2.5-4 turns out and the slight stumble is there regardless but is minimized at the middle of that...

    Slight roughness/stumble off idle- GS1100E with Kerker, APE pods, and DynoJet Stage 3

    1982 GS1100E with stock carbs (BS34SS). Kerker four into one, APE pods, DynoJet Stage 3. I've been able to dial this combo in almost perfectly. Had to raise the needles two positions from DynoJet's baseline recommendation. Increased pilot jet size from 45 to 47.5 to 50. All of these changes...
