Title: Found a GS500 for sale today
Post by: ratz on August 16, 2005, 09:26:25 PM
I went over to the guys house, and it looks ok, But, it doesn't run... :?
Well then the guy tells me that he thinks the houses are routed wrong ever since he took it apart to paint it. I sucked on the vacuum line that goes to the petcock, and gas came streaming out of the petcock... he didn't even have fuel going to the carbs, loose vacuum lines, and virtually an inch of gas in the tank.
This is where I will need your help. If I buy this bike tomorrow, I will need some direction on hooking up all these hoses. I know the subject has come up on here a lot lately, but will it hurt to ask for house routing one more time :dunno:
This bike is going to be a shopping list of upgrades from Pablos mod page for the next year.
I am also going to do some mods that you have never seen before.
I have got the digital camera ready.
Now, who has a exhaust system for sale?

Davipu;
I did buy the one off CL for $600.
I just dismantled the carbs, and cleaned them the bike at least starts now.
It doesn't run worth a damn.
I may have to clean the carbs again, and there may be a vacuum line issue.
I had to start  from scratch on the fuel lines, and i capped off the vents down by the bowl drain.
Dav, do you know anything about the carbs?
