GL1500 - Any one any ideas?


Recommended Posts

So I bought a GL1500 a little while ago, it stuttered on acceleration, so began the fun...

- The bike would start and run, but only ran well with the choke partially on 

- I removed the carbs and replaced as many Vacuum lines as I could get hold of (including the notorious 'under the mat' ones)

-  I sent the carbs to be 'sonic' cleaned

- When the carbs were returned to me the choke (enricher) was the wrong way round, so I took it back and it was reassembled

- Put the carbs back on the bike (took good pics so 99% certain its all correct) , pulled the choke to full (in 1c (33f) temperature outside) the bike wouldn't start

- Turned the choke off, bike started, ran at 800 rpm, but would die when I touched at the accelerator  

- Its obviously getting far too much fuel (beyond a simple vacuum leak)

 

I have two days as we have a long weekend (thanks to some man getting a crown put on his head here in the UK), any suggestions would be welcome. 

Thankyou in advance.
