So, my carbs are immaculate and the floats are within spec. He is still not wanting to idle properly either 3,000 + or he dies. If I come to an abrupt stop he just dies but if I start back up at a red light about 30% of the time he will idle appropriately at 1300 RPM. But, if I bring the RPM to 3,000 he will hang. I tried the WD-40 method and am not getting an increase in revs. I tried going back to stock on the jets no difference except when I put the jets that the buddha gave me back in it seems as if I have lost some of the umph I'm WOT now and am not getting acceleration with it I'm at a loss. I think I might have to take Flick to a shop once I get some of my school money back.
:embarassed:
Mary
Mary, I am lost on what exactly started the problem. Did you try to rejet it?
All I can think of is that your mixture screws are messed up, or the metering rods aren't seated properly?? Not a carb guy though...I'm going off car experiences here, I never dug into the carbs on my GS... :embarassed:
Hopefully someone with carb experience will chime in on this...
Later.
Well, there was a rejet over a year ago. Flick seemed to have been fine but about 4 months ago this started and I've tried everything. :sad:
Mary
Just gonna run down a check list here to see if anything jumps out.I know you've done a lot of work on your bike.
Carb cleaning and jets-Check
Valve clearances-Dont' remember you mentioning that
Tested ignition coils-? maybe
Checked wiring-? probably not it.Just good to keep a check on it.
Carb boots-check but still may be an issue.mine passed the wd-40 test but were still bad
Vacuum leak-always notoriously hard to find and fix
Everything points to a lean condition or slight vacuum leak.I'd change just the pilots jets to new ones to be sure they don't have a slight build up in them.Those orifices are so small that it doesn't take much to change their flow charateristics.
Maybe there's a crack in one of the rubber intake pipes between the carbs and cylinders, so it sucks "false air" (creating a leaner mixture)?
Could happen, and it's not visible till you take the pipe in hand and try to fold it.
:dunno_black:
throw some seafoam in there. I use that stuff on everything. Maybe it'll fix it, or maybe not. It's worth a try
How's the clutch? Could it be dragging just enough to stall the engine at low RPMs?
plug pull perhaps? see what your fuel mix is like. make sure you clean the 2 little holes on the intake side of the carb real well... mine wouldn't idle when i got it and i sprayed some ether through those 2 holes and fixed her up good. Seafoam is a great tool for cleaning engines, i need to run some through my baby, put the engine on prime and run it through the petcock vacuum line. Also a little in the tank and the rest in the oil (then change the oil after 50 miles)
are you still using standard airbox ? if not suspect cracks in rubber carb mounts .go up 2 pilot jet sizes and see if there is a notisable difference they are cheap.if no joy you have to suspect tight valves or problems in electrical circuit .warm engine and try a compression test . buy compression gauge they are cheap. i do a compression check regulary gives early warning on tight valves .just pull sparkplug and gauge screws in or may just have rubber cup on end which is just held firmly against spark plug hole and turn engine over on starter moter ,6 revolutions or so should be plenty. compression should be between 142 to 199 psi on a good engine . do you baby your bike or ring its nuts off ? ring its nuts off keeps spark plugs and cylinders clear of carbon .
I've checked just about everything you guys have mentioned. I think it is time to take Flick to the Pros. Valves in spec, tried differet jets, carb boots are fine, plugs are fine according to service manual, carbs are synched, good compression, clutch is fine, ignition coils are great, timing is in spec,wiring is fine. I'm not keen on just throwing chemicals in my bike on a hope and a prayer it fixes it. I did use the Suzuki engine and carb clean that you put in the tank and ran it through. Not sure what metering rods are?
Flick probably gets taken better care of than 90% of the bikes on here. I really don't believe I've ever taken him above 9k RPM.
Mary
You check the AC Generator and rectifier? What is your bat voltage at (does it appear to be charging correctly?)

OK I guess look for exhaust leak. If done -
I'll read through again 1 sec.
Cool.
Buddha.
OK is fuel flowing out the tank well ?
That is about it, I am out of ideas.
Oh wait, the O ring @ the bottom of the white guide - it really prevents air from sneaking in @ low revs ... that should be intact amd nice and bulging, not dry and cracked.
Cool.
Buddha.
After thinking about this a while this is what I come up with.
Are the O rings in good condition that seals the mixture/pilot screws?
Have you checked the tank petcock to make sure it's in the correct position?I noticed today that Mine could turn slightly passed ON which could reduce fuel flow in both on and reserve positions.
Fuel is flowing out of the tank well, can you show me a pic of the O-ring you are talking about. I had heard about a little one on the older carbs don't know if we are talking about the same thing. If that the '04 didn't have it in the parts diagram. I don't think there is an exhaust leak. I've never taken it off and when you stand behind it you get a pretty good amount coming out.
Mary
I don't have a pic of the O ring but it is tiny.If you pull the mixture screws,you can usually see it at the bottom of the port.Those O rings are bad to dissolve and clog the idle circuit.Carb clean and blowing out the carb a few times with compressed air usually cleans it out.
She will have a new fuel petcock Friday as she told be she has to run on reserve.
Then it could also be the Hoover Upright used on the kid's pet rooster (that is: vacuum to the pet-chicken).
Either way, she will have a spare come Friday to at least eliminate one problem (parts whore to the rescue).

My post above is about the tank petcock.It can actually be turned a little passed on which will restrict flow to the frame petcock.I have done this before.
Mary check that you have the needle in the slides pushed hard home they have an o ring on them to hold them in place. other posability is a sliver of rubber has come off the hose that attaches to tap under the tank having been off several times can get into carbs when on prime
Good luck
The fuel hoses are new. Yup the tank petcock is completely horizontal we tripled checked when placing it back on to get it just right. The needle is secure in the diaphraghm mechanism. One slide is slightly rough but put a little scratch filler on it just in case and now is baby smooth.
Someone said something about O rings around the jets? I don't ever recall taking o-rings from the brass jets. They are clean too soaked in carb cleaner then took the air compressor needle and shot air through it. Had to hold 'em with a pair of pliers so they wouldn't fly away LOL!

There are no O rings on the slide needles.This is the stock set up.

Tank petcock should be set to vertical in the on position unless it was reassembled the wrong way.
No O rings on the jets.There are O rings in the hole where the mixture screws are.I know your carbs are a little different.

hopefully this pic comes thru(http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z380/twinrat/IMG_0089.jpg) this is the oring that i was talking about. oring and holder need to be pressed hard home in slide or needle will float up and down as you throttle on and off, the small spring can come off if not carefull ?is it still there??
Dang! I really need to get my hands on a set of new style carbs.They are way different than the 89-00 carbs.
I was referring to the on off valve under the tank. :embarrassed: It has to be turned completely horizontal or it will not let fuel out efficently.
Mary
Flick is doing better but still hanging idle at 3k
Hi Mary,
Much as I hate to disagree with you, The Buddha is RIGHT; the fuel valve under the tank must be turned to VERTICAL for fuel to flow.
The ONLY photo I could find is from Kerry's personal website; he is still listed as a moderator here, but he hasn't been online here in the last month, unless he didn't log in...
This is NOT a great photo, but you should be able to see that the valve is VERTICAL:
http://www.bbburma.net/MiscFotos/100_1485_TankPetcockInONPosition.jpg
If you don't agree with this, simply turn the valve to the vertical position and test your GS; what do you have to lose at this point in time?
Someone else might be able to find a better photo, but I'm short on time, and this was the best one I could find under the circumstances. I KNOW I've seen a MUCH better photo previously, but I haven't been able to locate it (here or on the 'net), and I'm out of time.
Turn the valve to the vertical position and see what happens; you're probably losing sleep over this, and I KNOW you want to RIDE!
Best wishes; please let us know how this turns out...
I think you guys are barking up the wrong tree...if the tank petcock was not in the on position, the engine would starve for fuel and not start...she is having a hanging idle issue @ 3000rpm, I don't think her problem is fuel supply...

:confused: :dunno_black:
Sticking throttle cable, or choke cable...improper adjustments on either...??
Later.
Edit: Maybe tank breather issue only flowing enough to let a little fuel through...but that wouldn't cause the idle hang at 3k rpm...hmm...are you still having the no power issue? or has that been dealt with?
Well, the 95 degree heat with 98% humidity has been getting to me in the garage. Yesterday while fidgiting with Flick I was taking the tank off again and (yes it is verticle I believe I may be dislexic) my prop (0ld mc battery) slipped out and the tank with 1 1/2 gallon of gas fell on my forearm :sad: I saw my RN manager 'cause my PCP is on vacation and she said with me and what I've lived through she isn't worried " as long as the bone isn't sticking out your not gonna die" . Still hurts though!
I know what the recent loss of power was I didn't look at my jets properly when putting in low to mid range and got 'em backwards on the left side. So, no loss of power now imagine that! Like I said Flick ran pretty well today just idle hanging at 3K. I checked the throttle and choke cables both seem to be ok.
Mary
Hi mary you have obivously done everything that could be done with your carb settings. have you set your throttle cables and choke cables ,throttle cable needs to be able to be snapped open and able to snap shut try this at least half a dozen times do it with the tank off so you can see whats happening .you might have the cable routed wrong or your return cable is not adjusted right . i know this is clutching at straws..Good luck PS dont foreget to let us all know what was the cure when you find it. it may need a good old winchester 30/30 to put flick out of its misery

Grrrrr ... hanging idle - open air screws 1/2 turn, you're @ 3 ? 3 is a start, adjust to taste baby.
The tank fuel valve may have been wrongly assembled @ some point, it does need the slot vertical with the open end down ward.
Cool.
Buddha.
Hmmm, well I tried Flick at 3.5 turns out today. No change :dunno_black: I also made sure the carbs were synched just in case. With a real carb synch device. If it helps any Flick typically does hang only after warmed up :dunno_white:
Mary
Mine was doing that exact thing...it was the idle screw...it had been adjusted when the bike wasn't fully warmed up...that caused me to need the choke more when the "little guy" was still warming up, but the hanging idle was gone once he was warm... :dunno_black:
:cheers:
Later.
Hey Jak this is something that I observed last night. The BF put the screws I think it was 2.5 screws out and the hanging idle went away but I couldn't get Flick to idle at all. I tried the throttle screw and it did nothing! So, today one more time I'm going to take out the carbs and have a look at that screw. It felt (and I'm praying this hasn't happened) that it was a stripped screw that you can screw forever. I.E turn and turn nothing but never get to the point of being all the way in or all the way out.
Will give more results later today. I guess it is a good thing with all of this practice I can have the tank off and carbs out in about 20 min. Getting into Flick is no longer a chore LOL! Gotta look at the brightside right?
Mary
Keep swinging for the fences, Mary; sooner or later, you're going to smack this one out of the park, and we'll all learn something new because of it.
Well, on the throttle screw I was dyslexic I thought screwing clockwise was to increase idles 'doh I almost had the screw out because I had screwed and screwed thought it would be going in but it was going out! Well, now Flick will idle at 1200 but he's hanging again! He will slowly go up to 3K and not come back down without cutting power. The guys at the Motor Cycle Clinic told me they'd do my 22,000 service and do a good once over on Flick for $180. At this point it is starting to look reasonable! I also tried the carb cleaner trick to check for a vacuum leak and nothing I had the tank sitting on a chair while starting him up to see if cables were hanging and none were. IDK!
Mary
3.5 on air screw, open to 4 ... or whereever it is, open 1/2 turn.
Cool.
Buddha.
Alright, I've already got the valve cover off because of a leak when a gasket tore checking stuff. Just going to do some form-a-gasket until I get the school money. But, alright one more half turn out. LOL!
Mary
just a thought Mary i know you have had carburetors apart .have you had the vacume hoses off .,and if so have you put the check valve back the wrong way round and if not suck it and see it is working correctly.air should only go one way .great to know you are willing to tackle mechanical things Rod
Yup, everything is on correctly by the manual at least. Now I know I should take a pic to show you guys but Flicks tank aint coming off again till the gasket comes in. Did you know I can get my carbs off in 12 1/2 minutes? So there is an area where the carbs are joined with a hose. The hose was bad so BF took it off and said it should not be the culprit but well I think that is all that is left. Ill show with pic in a couple of days when new gasket arrives.
Mary
Okay I've got the pic hopefully I'll get it up tomorrow but until then here is this:

Pretty sure it is #64 that is missing but hard to see on the fiche could be #65 it is the one toward the airbox.
Mary
Got a good set of carbs on the shelf taken off of a running 2009. Would photos of that help you?
Boy - new carbs are really different from the older ones!
Noticed a set of carbs for sale on fleabay for $99. The photos look OK so maybe seeing these photos will help. If not, I can take photos of the carbs I have from a 2009 (also got 'em for $99 - pretty good deal I think)

Grrr, should have taken the pic with the cell phone. Can't get my card reader to work :sad: I just don't want to take the tank off again. Seems as if he is doing a little better but will know after I take him out to UCF and back!
Mary
You're missing the metal tube connecting the 2 vacuum tops ?
OK you may be having a vacuum leak.
Plug the 2 ends @ each carb and try it.
Cool.
Buddha.
Okay, here it is. This is looking from the back of the bike.

If this is the problem I'm going to beat the shiate out of my BF. Only problem is he'd probably enjoy it :whisper:
Mary
I show something between those two brassy thingies. Not sure where it goes without looking into Suzi. This set of carbs are extras that will go on the engine for the bike build.
(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/GS500/DSC01158a.jpg)
Yes, it was broken on Flick. BF said it really wouldn't make a difference if we took it off. I've capped 'em off so lets see how he runs. I'm taking him out to UCF so will be a good hour of riding.
Mary

"You couldn't put the part back on the carbs and now you can't use a coaster"
"You can't take time to put my carbs back together but you still can spend all day watching football"
"You can't fix my carbs but can flip TV stations every 5 seconds"
"Since you have so much spare time because you didn't spend time on my carbs, we're watching a Threes Company marathon. You'll see how funny Mr Furley really is"
"You won't put the part on my carbs and you won't change the toilet paper. What do you do with your time?"
"Your underwear? You don't wash it the right way so I bought you new tidy whities at Costco."
"You won't plug the hole in the carbs? Guess what hole you won't be plugging tonight."
Nag Nag Nag! that will get him better than beating him up.
Okay, I'm really ready to cry now he won't start won't turn over. Starter is kicking in fine but I can't get it going. I unplugged that area thinking maybe that's it. No. Okay, there isn't alot of gas in the tank. Went and grabbed 2.5 gallons nope same thing. He ran yesterday all I did was take off the tank plug that area and put it back on. Double checked everything is on right even popped the gas lid.
Flick when I walk back out to the garage if you don't start I am going to haul you over to Pine Hills and sit you out there for two days and collect the insurance money. BTW no bath this weekend!
Mary
So so so so so sorry mary baby, I gave you awful advice.
That however wasn't #64 in teh fiche. I cant see pics at work and so I did it without seeing your pics.
The lower T tube is atmosphere vent, cap it and you will not let fuel out the floats into the motor, please leave em open to air.
Cool.
Buddha.
seems like that bike has been giving you problems forever
i'd sell it and buy a new one :dunno_black: :dunno_black:
btw that missing part is the Air Vent hose which I don't think really matters if the hose is gone since it goes to nowhere lol
i bet something really small and minor is giving you these problems
.
.
If you understood my situation you would know why I won't sell Flick. I'm the one partially to blame on this one. Left Flick on the kickstand in prime with that area capped :oops: Flick's airbox was filled to the brim with gas! The great thing is that I live in Florida and it was a no rain day (why I wanted to ride to school) so the gas evaporated off in the sun in 10 minutes. Never thought I'd be happy about our 90 degree weather but I was yesterday LOL.
So, yes Flick you get a bath today even though your idle still hangs. BTW it did get a little better with the half a turn out Buddha. I don't hang as often but when it does it will go up to almost 5k rather than the normal 3.5K. But, I'm one half away from being all the way out. Is that normal? I took a video on my phone but I can't attach it to e-mail. So, not sure how I can send it! Sooo, glad I didn't yell at my BF about that vent hose. :kiss3:
Mary
This is why I don't futz with my carbs unless I HAVE TO. My bike is 10 years older, has more miles, and gives me less trouble. (almost none) When I bought this bike it ran great but my idle would hang once fully hot just as you describe. I put Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas and the problem eventually went away. Perhaps MMO did the trick, perhaps just riding it displaced the offending particles. I don't know and I don't care either. Your slides are not returning to the bottom during decel, causing the hang. That's all it is, Mary. Your bike is too new to have so many problems. Or is it possible the E models are made better than the faired bikes? I seriously doubt it or this board would be loaded with people having problems with late model GS's and we don't see that. Best of luck!
OK so how many turns out on air screws now ?
If its like 6 or so, yea you can have em drop and lose em ... check float level ...
I have the carbs sitting in the truck as we speak though ... I will get it jetted and prep on sending it.
Cool.
Buddha.

you were on RonAyers site look at o ring #35 #7 #17 #14 . still think you have dropped the spring off that holder that keeps the needle in contact with the slide . had a similar effect when i lost the clip that held the needle in an amal carb and tied a bit of fuse wire in the clip groove ,when i throttled off engine would some times hang because it was realy only floating in slide and not closing off needle jet properly
Hey twin I know everything is in place with the O-rings with the exception of 17 I'm not sure where that apparatus is going to so if you can give me a relative are where that is I will double check.
Buddha, Float hights are in check I am 3.5 screws out but it seems like anymore and they will fall out like you said. It seems that 4.5 is all that they will screw out without falling :dunno_black:

No, over 6 to fall out, and heck get those rubber caps @ the furniture section in lowes and you cap em and it will never fall out ... unscrew away my friend 3.5 ... I set my dog to 3.5 ... well I set carbs to 3 for a start, but 3.5 aint nothing I wont even start posting till you got 5.5 ...
These carbs I dug out are in no way fit for a bike, knew something was wrong ... yup, air jet boogereated ... and the bloody thing is pressed in ...

Mary, you asked about part #17 in the Suzuki microfiche; I dislike the one Ayers uses, so here is a link to one which I think is easier to see clearly:
http://images.powersportsnetwork.com/fiche/images/SUZUKI/2004/Motorcycles/7247_13A.gif
As you should be able to see, part #17 is a rubber o-ring which sits inside the carb body; it is the FIRST piece to go in when you install the idle adjusting screw. After the o-ring, you have the washer (18), the spring (19), the idle adjust screw (20), and the little metal cap used to keep people from adjusting the screw (40A), which has obviously been removed so you can tune the carbs.
I don't know if this information will help you or not, but I do hope you'll check to see that BOTH o-rings are installed properly and NOT damaged. I don't know what the effect of a damaged / missing o-ring would be, but there's a pretty damn good chance it would cause a problem similar to what you're experiencing right now.
Please check the o-rings and let us know what you find...
Ah, got it. Both O-rings are present. Flick is being tenacious on this no riding today or yesterday though had a colonoscopy today :icon_eek:
I feel like krap tonight UGH!
Mary
Hey Mary,
Did you end up taking Flick to a mechanic or still lookin?
I planned on taking Flick to a mechanic but school screwed me over. Instead of me getting $700 back I owe them $300. I really just want to cry. My stress levels are through the rough making my Crohn's horrendous. Flick still runs like shiate pretty sure I've got a float bowl sticking now. Left him on the sidestand at work get out he's flooded had to drain off the carbs in the parking lot. So, I will be tearing into the carbs one more time. I'm so done right now. Full-time school 32 hours of work this week and major health concerns are spelling a disaster waiting to happen.
:sad: Mary
