    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

86 GS550ES Fuel line connections and routing- need help!

Corvette95

Forum Apprentice
I have a very low mile 86, it is in very good shape with low miles. I went to ride it today and it would crank but not start. Plugs were not fouled. Fuel (non-ethanol) in bowls. I had a Suzuki dealer replace the fuel line last fall. Rode it home and rode it a few short trips that was it. I think they have the fuel lines mis routed and the is a plastic tube with a plastic "tee" between the two carbs...I don't think that should be there. The vacuum line to the right side card was off. I replace the two plastic lines (not the one metal line) between the two carbs with a one piece with no tee (the tee had a third hose running off of it to nothing - like a vent hose?). Can someone send me pictures of how to correctly attach and run the fuel and vent hoses? On another note, this is new as well, headlamp not working on low or bright, turn signals light in front as supposed to but wont blink? I did have to repair a ground wire to the fuel level sensor but the fuel gauge is working fine. Need help!
 
I will say this about this bike. The battery has to be in top notch condition to start. When my two year old battery was left sitting for more than a week, the engine would crank ok but not fire. I'd then connect my charger and it would light off no problem. Put in a new battery and that went away.
The fuel line should just route from the petcock straight across and down to the #2 carb. As long as no one added a filter it should have very little chance of kinking. Please make sure the isn't an external filter in between the carb and tank.
