Title: The ever eluding right cylinder won't fire.
Post by: Mbrantang on June 26, 2016, 11:54:05 AM

Hi fellow GS owners,
I have some issues with my right cylinder not firing. This what I have so far; compression okay, spark from plug okay, gas in right carb float bowl.

This is a bike that i received from my father in law for Christmas. So I don't know how long it's been like this.

It's a gs500e 1995.

Thanks in advance.

Possibly a clogged pilot jet........and check that piss poor second connection on the negative battery terminal.

Thanks for the reply, have new OEM jets in it. Cleaned the whole carb with guitar string and carb cleaner. Also I put in new orings. As for the battery terminal I have a new lithium ion pack that seems to have a really good connection.

Any other ideas? Really at a loss here. :icon_sad:

Found the problem. Needel was stuck on the carb.
