Oh Man... what is it now?

[Hansmanbo]

GL1000 been running great, then went to hell. 200 miles on carb rebuild, valve adjust, new timeing belts, and new ignition. Thought maybe fuel filter... nope. Notched gasket on fuel cap... nope. Petcock?.... nope, drained tank and blew in air, seems ok. Got fire at all 4 plugs. Opened ingition and all seems still tight so it didnt move... did i miss something? Help.... :head bang:

What is it doing, or not doing?
"Went to hell" doesn't tell us anything.

Please be a bit more descriptive beyond " went to hell".

 

[Hansmanbo]

was running good then started backfiring and not wanting to build rpms. Felt like a fuel filter clogged. Checked all that stuff but still wont pull right.

Isn't the 1000's on the point system? sure sounds like you have an ignition issue..

 

[Hansmanbo]

got a brand new Dyna on it....

 

[joedrum]

with dyna coils???

When you start the bike feel the the intake manifold pipes to see if they all get the same warmth as the bike warms up, if they are not getting hot at the same time maybe a float is sticking, just hit the float bowl with a back of screwdriver's handle...Just a suggestion... Maybe you have bad spark ignitors?

I had a carb running too rich from a flakey float needle dumping fuel but only under acceleration.
Felt just like it was actually running out of fuel.
Something to check.

I had one of those plastic fule filtersthat caused that kind of problem. Found the output side had colapsed, just like someone had used a wire crimper on it. replaced it and walla!!! just my 2c

I had similar issues. It was carb sync. Turned out I had one bad gauge in the set of four. As a result one carb was grossly out of sync. Once I figured out the gauge was bad and did the sync with two gauges it runs like never before. Even idles cold and it has never done that for me.
