All, I bought a GL1100 3 weeks ago that wasn't working. It wouldn't start, after some troubleshooting I discovered no fuel was getting to the cylinders. I pulled off the carb, cleaned all the jets and completely cleaned everything. before I put it back together, I replaced the cylinder head gasket (anti-freeze was coming out the tailpipe). Once I put it back together, I replaced the timing belt, spark plugs, spark plug wires and boots (made them).
The bike will start, but it is really rough. It sounds like cylinder 2 is "misfiring" and fuel is spitting out of the exhaust. When I bought this I noticed the blinkers didn't work either. I replaced all the fuses and still no, go. I am wondering if I could have an electrical issue (because of the misfire and blinker problem). The guy before me was using a truck to jump his bike when the battery would die :shock: .
Any ideas?
