Read all the posts I could find on the GL1000 (as well as Randakks tips and the Clymer manual) and still have questions. So hoping someone out there has skills on the 1000 and time to share.
I am trying to get the 77 GW running for my brother-in-law after it sat for about 8 years. Some of the things I've done are timing belt change, new points, carb clean and rebuild, new starter (think I torched the old one while trying to get it started).
Now I can get it started but runs rough, pops and backfires quitea bit. Checked and rechecked everything I can think of, but I must be missing something big yet.
First question, when checking the vacuum on the intake runners, the dial gauge jumps wildly, from about 3 psi to about 15 psi. All four do the same, is this common? Will a malfunctioning air cutoff valve (newly replaced) do this?
Any and all ideas welcome.
totally frustrated here
