    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

GS1000 bad miss when warm

:-kJust finished my 78 GS1000 project. Starts and runs great for about 10 minutes, then starts missing and spitting, eventually drops to 2 cylinders. ! and 4 exhaust pipes are cold. Replaced the coil with a used one, no better! Experts?
 
Lets see,
Cylinders 1 & 4 fire 180 degrees from cylinders 2 & 3.
You could swap around the inputs to the coils from 1 & 4 to 2 & 3 and 2 & 3 to 1 & 4. You'd also have to do the same thing with your plug wires and see if the problem transfers to cylinders 2 & 3.
 
If you are sure the coil is good and everything is hooked up in the right order the next place I would check is the wires and connectors from the points to the coils.
Look for any sign of heat like discolored/melting.
When a wire reaches a certain temp it will lose conductivity.
Look for any spark jumps at night in the dark.
If you are brave and do not have heart problems you can find it in the daylight by running your hand over wires (will be hot) or coils and plug wires (will feel the jolt)
When checking the regular wires by hand you will have best results directly after bike has heated enough to cause your misfire/nofire.
 
i had this problem with my 1980 gs1000e, 2 carb slide were stuck, has to clean the carbs out due to sticky fuel residue
 
Might be worth a look at the condensers next to the points. Again as suggested swap them over to the other points and see if the problem moves.
