    have to move the clutch handle back and forth to get starter to kick in

    The switch contact connects to the harness in the headlight bucket. You can just short out the two wires and bypass the entire clutch lever safety switch. In most cases, all you need to do is clean the contacts and adjust its position.

    No Spark

    Ahhhhh? Where is your igniter to drive the coils? Can't just connect the pick-up coil directly to the coils unless you have something like a Dynatek Dyna-S or something like it.

    Whoops... So many on here need the service manual that it didn't even register to me that he was looking for the owner's manual. Sorry.

    I see it now. Didn't see the drop down on the link I was using.

    carbtune

    I looked on the Carbtune site and couldn't see the package deal with the brass fittings. Can you post a link? Don't need one right now since I already have one but would like to confirm the deal. Possibly pick up a 2nd one for a V8 application I have.

    Can I install a Delkevic 4-1 on a G model GS1000...they list E and S availability

    The frame is a 1980 GS1000G. The engine is an 1100G engine. There are no external differences between the 1000 and the 1100 G engines, so everything is a straight bolt up. Same carbs, same exhaust. Different jetting. The exhaust I have on my bike is a Vance & Hines for a GS1100E. The only...

    Any sources for a 1980 gs750 PARTS manual???

    Why not just use the online parts sellers. They all use the parts microfiche drawings and have part numbers. Here is one as an example: http://www.partsoutlaw.com/oemparts/c/suzuki_motorcycle/parts

    leaking shaft boot gs1000

    Chuck!!!! You just cured a question I've had since I installed the 1100G engine in my 1000G. Ever since then, I've had the driveshaft, every so slightly, touching something inside the swing arm when rotating. It's all but gone now with no noticeable effects but I always wondered why it was...

    Can I install a Delkevic 4-1 on a G model GS1000...they list E and S availability

    1100E and 1000G headers are the same. The rear mount will have to be fabricated but I have an 1100E exhaust on my 1100G engine in my 1000G frame. The rear mount is simple to make. Just a simple metal strip with two holes is all that's needed.

    Stator swap 12 pole vs 18

    Why risk it with a generic R/R from ebay. Given that you have a more difficult stator to find and purchase, I'd stick with the known quantity of a Shindengen sh775 regulator and keep your new stator happy for life.

    Exhaust Bolt Size & Pitch?

    The advantage of the studs, beside simplicity of exhaust removal, is that the studs don't wear out the aluminum head threads every time the exhaust is removed. Alignment of the exhaust is simpler on re-installation as well. Stainless steel will work perfectly well if a high temp anti-seize...

    Hesitation between 2500 and 3500 RPM

    Did you follow all the directions? Did you poke out each jet opening? Did you verify that every passage is flowing by using spray cleaner through them? Did you sync the carbs AFTER a valve adjustment?

    Hesitation between 2500 and 3500 RPM

    If you didn't COMPLETELY disassemble the carb then you haven't rebuilt them yet. Quit wasting yours and everyone else time and to it right. Those adjustment screws needed to be removed BEFORE you soaked them. Follow the link to the carb rebuild tutorial and do it the proper way...

    Probably time some serious maintenance including, a complete carb rebuild, valve adjustment and proper carb sync afterwards.

    Good Ultrasonic Cleaner?

    The one I built to replace my high-end cleaner that broke is still going strong for over 5 years. I use it a lot as well. What did you end up doing with your el-cheapo?
