    I am too lazy to look back through 50-some replies, so I will just ask:

    Have the float bowl gaskets been replaced?

    If so, are you SURE that the floats are not hanging up on the inner edges of the gaskets?

    Some gaskets are cut a bit incorrectly, forcing the sides inward, sometimes far enough for the floats to drag on them.
    THAT can cause some serious headaches, as well as carburetor flooding.

        i just pulled the carbs and the float bowl gaskets are not touching the floats. i made sure the floats are set to 24mm. but i couldn't find anything abnormal.

        this bike is really rubbing me the wrong way. i mean why is it stalling when it gets hot?

          Float height should be 22.4mm for an 82 550l. Not 24mm.

          1980 GS1000GT (Daily rider with a 1983 1100G engine)
          1998 Honda ST1100 (Daily long distance rider)
          1982 GS850GLZ (Daily rider when the weather is crap)

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.

            sorry i meant 22.4mm. when i was typing i got confused.

            but the float height is set correctly.

            What are the odds that the engine is overheating?

            if mechanical timing was off a tooth would it stall when hot?


            I would like to add that when the engine gets hot it misfires at idle before it stalls. I probably should have said this before but oh well.

              Over heating in 15 minutes of idling ,than stalling seems highly unlikely especially in your location. Timing could be one tooth off and won't effect much at idle.
              When this happens, you got spark but plugs running rich, so too much fuel seems the culprit, but why? You sure that those o-rings or gaskets under fuel needle seats are good?
