Hi guys and girls, I'm getting ready to start it up again after I replaced the head gasket and I could'nt find this with the search fuction for my type of bike. The vacuum line from the petcock goes in an opening between the carbs between carbs 1+2, 2+3 or 3+4 wich one do I use on my bike :?: :?: :?: , I've heard that the 2-valve and the 4-valve models are different about if I remember correctly. I'm charging the battery right now and will be ready in about 3 hours so I hope I can start it then.

(And hope it doesn't make any loud,expensive noises 8O )
 
Depends on the type of carbs. With CV carbs the vacuum line is connected to carb #3; with slide carbs to carb #2.
 
not between the carbs

not between the carbs

I am not 100% sure about your model, but on my 78 GS1000 and 81 GS1000G the vacuum line does not go between the carbs, it goes directly to a port on either carb 2 or 3. The "T connection" in between the carbs is a vent for the carb fuel bowls.
 
On my GS 1150 E 1984 the vaccum line is connected to the second carb.

Sitting on the bike it should be carb #3 :?:

I checked the picture of Robin's GS1000S; it has slide carbs, so the vacuum line connects to carb #2 (sitting on the bike, second carb from the left).
 
Jojo,

Sitting on the bike, counting from the left, it is carb two.

OBS! This is a GSX1100/GS1150 E 1984
 
So the vacuum line goes on the second carb form the left, thus the line goes between carb #1 and #2. I'll let you guys know if it works.THANKS :!:
 
Could you guys let me know where the three vacuum lines on the carbs on my '78 GS750E go? #2 vacuum line is going to the petcock and #3 & #4 vacuum lines go to nothing. Thanks, Bob

They are supposed to go nowhere. They are vent lines. Just leave them where they are :D

Robin:

It goes to carb #2, not between #1 and #2! There is a connection on the left side of carb #2.

That's what I said you Queen freak. :twisted:
 
Thanks guys........you might wanna lighten up a bit there Robin, he's just trying to help.

JoJo is correct, #2 vacum line goes to the petcock and #3 and #4 run over the top of the airbox on the right side. (when sitting on the bike) On the aft right side close to the top, you will see a small bracket, that bracket is for inserting the #3 and #4 lines through just to hold them in place.

No harm done Robin :D

Now get up on your feet and get that GS1000S running!

Or do you need a "fellow wooden shoe" on your behind to encourage you? :wink: :lol: :lol:
 
Phew what a relief, now I can sleep again :!:

And yes it's running again :!: :!: :!: Started it up yesterday to hear it run and today I let it run for about 10 minutes and retorqued the head. This week, probably thursday i'll get my chain and sprockets and take it for a testdrive. It still needs the valves and carbs adjusted but it sounds pretty good, when I got it it was running without a filter in the stock airbox and larger main jets, so I bought a Suzuki filter and the correct main jets.

(And about the wooden shoe issue, don't make me come up north. :twisted: )
 
[(And about the wooden shoe issue, don't make me come up north. :twisted: )[/quote]

What a Laugh!! In a country the size of Holland, going north from one end to the other might take 3 or 4 hours. :P :P

I visited my relatives in Emmen, in 1990, and for the weekend, visited Berlin, as the wall was coming down. When I saw the relatives on Monday night, they had to be picked up off the floor (shock, not laughing) They could not believe someone driving 5 hours each way for the weekend. I decided not to tell them of prarie trips of 4 hours each way just for coffee when I was a kid :wink: :wink:
