Something to consider - Some of the "Not-so-well" designed LED lights generate RF interference. This can swamp out weaker FM radio signals, and a signal amplifier will not help because it will be amplifying the interference, too. If you have, for example, LED Headlights, try pulling the fuse for the...

Glad to hear you got it running good.

I certainly would enjoy a DCT commuting to work. Especially on the return trip in the evening rush. That 15 mile stretch of "parking lot" called I-70 can often take 45 mins or more. Clutch hand gets tired. No commute in the past year though, COVID has me working from Home. Maybe indefinitely. I wond...

My Opinion: Overkill. If you have a functioning vacuum petcock the electric valve is redundant. Petcock is easy enough to repair if needed, and parts easily available. :) If you go with the electric valve, it should be powered straight from the battery, thru an appropriate fuse, and then thru a rela...

Fried grounds is a common result of patching accessories and adding lights to the Bike's wiring harness, which is designed to be just barely adequate for the bike. The wiring harness is not designed for the additional load. Any accessories should be added to NEW circuits with their own fuse, prefera...

you must have a bad case of audiophlies.

That's Funny!

My best guess is the PO put the Hitachi on my '93 shortly after he bought the bike, the stereo with the big amp was installed in '94 (have documents). 52K on the bike now, and the Hitachi is still happy. Same MFR as the stock alternator, no reason to believe it won't last every bit as long as the st...

Just curious, did you get the Hitachi? Reply on your other thread to not Hi-Jack this one.....

Try working the throttle a few times before hitting the starter. If there's any fuel in the carb bowls the accelerator pump will help "prime" the engine.

GL1100 doesn't have Dogbone fuse, which is the main fuse in a 1200. Main fuse on 1100 (with stock starter relay) is a blade fuse plugged into the top of the starter relay.

Nothing like "Success".

I'm pretty sure the frames are the same on the 1000 to 1200 so, the tanks should fit unless they did some changes that I don't know. Not quite. The Vetter rear kit (trunk/saddlebag set) from an 1100 would NOT fit on my GL1000, the mount points were all off by a half inch here and an inch there, cou...

So that proves the right side is starving for fuel at idle. If it revs up like normal I'd tend to think there's enough fuel in the right carb bowl, but something got in the idle circuit of the right carb and it's blocked, at least partially. You can try spraying cleaner but I doubt it will help. You...

No 1800 experience here, but if you can measure power on the back of the alternator at the main terminal whatever fuse link the 1800 has is good. Then measure power on the small (excite) lead to the alternator, that should have power with key "on". I can't imagine an 1800 alternator not being repair...

No poo poo list....

I responded in other thread. Confusing when you have two separate threads on same subject.

When pulling the plug wires off while idling every plug on the left bank... sitting on the bike, kills the engine. However, when I pull each plug wire off on the right bank sitting on the bike it is barely noticable if at all. I cannot imagine that after replacing the timing belts about 8 months ag...

I have the Haynes on my desk for Deb's Pontiac, a '99 Grand Prix. Now giving ignition troubles. This book is half the size of the Clymers I have for the 1500 Goldwing, but covers '88-'04 Buick Regal, '90-94 Chevy Lumina, '88-97 Cutlass Supreme and '88-07 Grand Prix. And at least six different engine...

Send some here! Denver is in severe drought!

Fuel pump can usually push fuel thru the petcock if the vacuum line is removed, the petcock is there to prevent gravity feed to the carbs if the tank is full and the engine and pump aren't running...

I will have to wait until I get that big hose or another fuel pump to try that I guess. But as much gas and pressure that came out of the top tube on the fuel pump, I'm quite positive that it is pumping more than enough. I suspect the only time the breather hose really does anything is when the tan...

There is NO RELAY for the fuel pump on a '94 interstate. This page from the Electrical Troubleshooting manual shows power for the fuel pump coming directly from the Engine Control Unit.

The circled text says "Hot in Start or with engine running".

A '94 doesn't have a fuel pump relay, the power for the pump comes directly from the ECU. Additionally, in the '94 model the pump does not run at all when you first switch the key on. It doesn't run until you hit the Starter button. It was only the '88/'89 models that had the relay and would run the...

Hello Christopher, and Welcome to the Forum! They do make a "whirring" noise around 30mph like how a car needs its tires rotated. - How do I check wheel bearings? When I turn, the whirring seems to become more noticeable, but I don't know if maybe its just the tires. Ya, that noise is the tires, whe...
