Title: Carb hose routing question (need help FAST)
Post by: Chris18 on May 16, 2007, 05:44:11 AM
Hey again folks.
Before I start off, I have searched for quite a while for the answer to my question, but I can't seem to find it.

My problem is that I have problems figureing out the hose routing for the grey hoses to the carbs. Where do they all attatch?

I found Kerrys (I think his name was) diagram for the old bikes, but I have a 2005 GS500F, and the carbs arn't the same.

I would really be glad if someone had some real world pics or something like that.

Sorry if this is a re-post.

SOrry for the n00b question.  :laugh:
Thanks alot.  :)

Saw your post and though someone would answer by now, I know I've seen some good pics of the carbs and hoses on the F model posted on this forum, a quick search didn't turn them up.  Will take another look.

Here is a link to the Bell suzuki site.  You can click on the exploded view of the carbs and that might help you, as for actual pictures I can't seem to find any.  I know that the hose routing isn't that much different than the E models, but it is a little.  Hope this helps a little,

Nate

I have just come back from my bike, and I tried to connect everything, but it didn't start.
So something isn't connected right.


But thanks for your help for far.  :icon_mrgreen:

Yeah, I got it started, bearly. But the moment I have it some gas it cut out and wouldn't start again. :dunno_white:
So the battery got drained and I'm recharginh it now.

Yeah, it's still cuts out when I give it some throttle, and it doesn't really want to start.  :dunno_white:

Probably the most common error at this point is not turning the tank-mounted petcock back on.

The next most common is probably the smaller (vacuum) line running from the frame petcock- I think on yours it connects to a "T" with some similar-sized (vacuum) hoses... though it should still run if you put it on "Prime" to fill the carb bowls.


If you havn't check already check ^ that and also check to make sure it is all the way open.  I have forgotten to turn the undertank petcock back on once, made it a little ways down the road and out of gas, figured it out pretty quick followed by a feeling of retardation.  Just let us know.

Yeah it is on, I turned it on the first time.

It just keeps coughing, and then it runs for about 2 seconds and then it cuts out again. And if I give it some gas it cuts out right away.

What could it be?

did you hook up the fuel lines right?  Maybe you have the ON and RES lines switched?

maybe it is flooded?

if u get it started try opening the throttle full to try and clear it up?
