Order of tune up ?

[Reedcutter]

Hi guys

Could someone please suggest what order I should tune my gl1000 ?
Ie: ignition timing, valves, carb sync, anything else I've missed. Don't know if I do it in wrong order if il throw something else out. Thanks

You should do the valves first simply because once set nothing else you do will change the setting. Then the ignition and the carbs should be last. The carbs can't be tuned properly unless everything else is in order.

Thanks DingDong .
That makes perfect sense. Il crack on with that tomorrow after work then.

Have a 78 Gl1000 did rebuild and now it won't fire. It Will turn but no pop plugs have spark and it has compression but it will not fire. Please help me out thank you.

Check firing order from coils? Easy to get wires wrong if they were apart. Right coil fires cylinders 1+2, left fires 3+4. Firing order is 1-3-2-4. Could also check colors at points/condenser connections if they have them.

Coils are right still confused thanks did check again

Check belt pulley timing marks? Both pulleys’ “up” marks up at T1 and outside marks lined up?

Check that, then valve adjust. Done a valvecadjust before? Remember there are two T1 marks. First T1 when intake valve on number 1 just closes and on the mark, second T1 360 degrees crank rotation later which is 180 degrees can rotation later.
