82 GS850G slid and won't start

Hey,

I slid my 1982 GS850G on some leaves and now it won't start. It is getting spark and fuel but it just turn over and every once in a while coughs. I thought it might be the timing. Any suggestions or ideas?

I also am trying to remove the carbs to get at the Tensioner but I can't get them off the boots after I loosened the Airbox and the hose clamps and Allen screws from the boots. Again any ideas?

Thank You.
 
Well I don't have an airbox on my bike (have individual PODS) but if the airbox is out of the way I would just wiggle the carb rack up and down until it comes free. I'm no expert. I'm guessing that by allen screws, you're referring to the screws in the ports used for vacuum syncing the carbs. Those don't have to be loosened to get the carbs out of the boots

Hi Mr. Col.Noon,

Check the voltage at the coils. Was there any physical damage to the engine covers (stator or ignition)? See the Air Intake Repair guide on my little website. You'll find ignition troubleshooting tips in the Electrical Odd and Ends section, plus a whole lot more GS850G lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Thanks guys for the welcome and the advice. I'll try it out tonight and see what happens. It is getting spark though.

I'm guessing when you dumped the bike on its' side you put a lot of gas into the cylinders and you're doing a lot of extra work for nothing. Get everything put back together, DON'T mess with the timing chain tensioner, pull the spark plugs, dry them out, crank the engine over a few times to clear the fuel out. Put the plugs back in, choke it and start it. Been there, done that, didn't get a t-shirt.:D
Make sure you get the airbox and carb boots sealed back up, or there are other problems that you'll discover.
