Previous to getting into this post I thought that I was the only one loosing bolts!! :lol: Now I feel a lot better. :D When working I keep at close hand a strong magnet, the ones I salvage from old Pc. Hard disks, they’re very powerful and really cheap. 8-) Keeping one close to the bolt/nut coming o...

Thank you wingman12, I'll do my best to fully recover and be back on the road ASAP.
And yes it's winter here, but mild one, very seldom it gets below 40's, so is always good time to ride.
We had a snow fell once back in 07/2007 here; and it was after more than 100 years.

Here I´m waiting to ride and play this game; it's been some time without doing it, to make the story short, first was my right hip replacement, (05/17), then problems with forks/tripple tree (11/18) that were solved by 02/18, and on 03/28/18 due to a hard effort I ruptured # T12 vertebra; which has ...

At 75 I passed the quiz test with tripple "AAAs"; some things didn't exist in my place, and some I saw while living in CA in the late '60s .
And just came up to my memory (not the nicest) ; as a teenager walking behind a horse drawn Funeral Carriage.
I'm glad to think of all those times...

MY first GL1500 18 year ago had air horns on her, and I put new ones in the actual 1500, in our bad traffic I used them very often, and I really love them!!

Hello Mudge: I also have a 78' Gl1000 which I'm restoring, with some experience from a previous '78. Having Dyna ign. it should run like a charm. Carburation on this bike is a litlle peaky, if they aren't well sychro it won't run well. Yuo can check it yourself, take a look at the blog tech in site ...

Here is my setup, done it many years ago; they are managed with the thumb, there are from left: Momentary contact push for air horn idem for driving light #1 idem for driving light #2 SPDT center off for driving light #1 (steady) SPDT center off for driving light #2 (steady) or (flashing) Driving li...

I can't tell you about any well in S.Carolina nor Florida, but for sure there aren't any near my home, at least for 900 Mi. around me.
So don't count on me for this mark.

Sorry to hear that; sending my condolences; prayers on the way...

I'm really happy to see this game rolling, but it's only been 4 weeks since my replacement hip surgery, and is going to be at least 2 more months before I can ride (and play here) again, so for now we have to rely on someone else to do the job. I'll keep an eye on you!!!

Congrats Wingdings.
This is what I love of this place, people that share a smart idea for the DIY.
Thank you!!

You can try this: remove the air filter and with motor running check closely if when accelerating both vacuum pistons move at unison. If not you may have the outer edge of diaphragm not seated correctly into the grove. Don't ask how I know. Not sure about getting out of sync, but it will cause malfu...

Ok, here is the starting schematic of GL1500 SE '93, basicly are same for all years, there maybe little mods.

That's the one, Relay "B". It doesn't get power until relay "A" is switched ON. Again, since you hear no clcks at all, start at the ign. fuse

About the digital display, it only shows the pressure of the rear air shock, has no connection to tires.

By your description I would start at the Ign. fuse, if it's good, then check theign, relay. see attached photo. It may vary, it's my '93 BTW I suppose that you jumped Started Relay "B", located by the started, right? power gets there from relay "A", located front to the battery. That's way you jumpe...

First of all, welcome to the forum. Now about problems, you said to have the ignition wired per diagram, Ok, sure there is a way to check coils, but what setup do you have, points or Dyna ignition? Not mentioned so I suposse there are points. What I use is one 15W bulb hooked up across the points, b...

What should the gas mileage be for this bike? I feel like it uses more than it should as well as it smells a bit gassy! It has not yet been synced since the carb rebuild . Thanks! rduling With much respect I would say: first sync your carbs, and then start fine tunning the motor. It doesn't make mu...

It is also my impression that past years photos were not acceptable. The idea being to get people out and about and take current photo tags. My 2 cents. :D :D yes, they have to be current photos as of this year. stuart. In the 5th post of this thread are the general rules of this game; please see b...

Long ago I started by building this simple voltalert, later on added digital voltmeter which about 1" x 5/8 and reads 13.6 V above 1500 rpm. One year ago this showed voltage dropping to 11.8V, so I pulled headlights fuse out and got home safe. The alternator was shot, when replacing it I interrupt t...

Enderniz:
I want to thank you for such nice proyect, this sure fills my need.
Regards, Mario

[quote="gipsy42" Gipsy You may want to check this link for your project. http://mastercircuits.blogspot.com.tr/2015/11/motorcycle-gear-indicator-discrete.html Enderniz: Thank you for the link, I was thinking something alike, here my idea: Beginning with your circuit to have - signals from 1° thru 5...

I knew that I had this info, and here is:
The tube from gas cap goes to the canister, which is only in Cal models, so it wont hurt anything to put a regular gas cap, unless you get caught in Ca. Mario

That amount of fuel isa lot over the minimun, there isn't need to be concerned by pressure.
Mario

Can you see gas on the little pan below gas cap?? , but I believe your problem is with the petcock valve. I also have a Cal model with the gas cap and center off hose, which goes way below the motor, shouldn't smell gas from there.
