1981 Suzuki GS550/650
Finished putting my Suzuki GS550 together with a 650 engine. It’s been a year since I found it and purchased it for $300. Engine was blown so I found a 650, rebuild the top end and used a lot of the 550 parts including the exhaust. This little thing is a rocket! GS550 has 49 HP. GS650 has 71 HP I believe.

This bike is in mint condition but unfortunately had the throttle stick wide open by the previous owner leading to a melted piston and a broken exhaust valve. This is the intro video to what I hope will be a journey toward a restart.
Central vacuum retractable wand fix
มุมมอง 158ปีที่แล้ว
The wand on my Kenmore central vacuum unit stopped extending and retracting. I priced another one and it was $189.00 and was not available. So I cut this one open to see how it worked. Found a little button under the plastic sleeve and now I can extend and retract the wand again.

im working on my brothers and put a battery in it and tried to jump it the button makes the solenoid click but the engine does not crank I took the starter off and checked to make sure it spins and it does so i then tried to jump the starter and it wont turn the motor over as well i belive its a bad starter not giving enough torque but not sure
Can you turn the engine by hand?

I have a Goldwing GL 1800, it starts, but when I put it in gear, it turns off. Could you give me some information that I can review, thanks...!
Do you have the kickstand up when you put it in gear?
@@scottfarraway34Yes, it is up
Looks like cdi unit but mine over the coils up above the airbox .
Ignition solenoid is the issue
Not too many "likes" on this video yet but it's actually really useful info on the GL1200 and not many other vids out there doing same fix.
That's why I put it up. Couldn't find much on it! Hope it helps someone!
Buenas tardes mi moto Honda goldwing modelo 86 motor 1200 no enciende no da chispa en las bujías ni pulso en los inyectores no la puedo echar a andar quién me puede ayudar
So you have power, when you push the starter button, the engine turns over but there's no spark and no fuel through the injectors?
@@scottfarraway34 disculpe no entiendo el inglés

Where is part two of the heads coming off
I actually didn't have to pull the heads. I took off the rocker arms and tapped the valves. The one that was stuck freed up and I put it back together and all was well.
@@scottfarraway34 cuz my brother has an 86 Honda goldwing gl1200 and we had to remove the head cuz the spark plug broke off in the head but we was able to get the head off but can’t figure out how to get the broken plug out

Hi so if the three bond upset the rubber seals what did you use next time?
Nothing. Just sat them in there and lowered the cylinders. Never had a problem after that.
My plastic top cover deformed like your on the one side is that from one carb running rich
Shame that cos the bike is very clean otherwise I think that head is toast for sure re bore and new pistons 👍
I just ordered the piston, rod and valves. We’ll see what happens. You may be right.
Going to attempt to replace the rod. Should be an adventure for sure
You might be as well off getting a good engine from a breakers or a crash damaged bike 🤔
You shouldn't be using 3bond a gasket is used on base 3bond is for crankcase sealing
No kidding! LOL!
Hi. Would youbhave a clue where's the relay for tail position lights together with display backlight? My 10A fuse pops, 20A as well. It is 30A running through that fuse. Any clue welcome. 1985 GL1200 Aspendale with 40😮 or so 5W tail light bulbs.
Sorry no clue.
What indication did you have to know the pulse generator needed replacing??
I had a miss on the #3 cylinder. I started chasing what I thought was a spark issue. Started at the plug and worked back through the whole ignition system. Everything checked out. Did an ohms test on the PG and it was below spec. So I assumed if it tested at 1030 ohms it was bad. Manual says 1200 +\- 100. So changed it and no change. That was a let down. Turn out it was a carb issue. I have already cleaned the carbs so didn’t think it could be them but it was. Cleaned them again and found the idle jet clogged. That was the culprit all along. Live and learn.
Did #3 not have any spark before you fixed the carb issue?
gracias por compartir el video, tengo un auto similar al tuyo
7.13.23. If I may be presumptuous, it would’ve behooved you to pull the engine. That way you could’ve changed the Stator, and it’s easier to get to the water pump with the engine out also. Not to mention timing belts, while you’re in there. With 140 km on it, makes a lot of sense to do the extra work because it’s not really that much more work pulling the engine. My hats off to you for thinking outside the box, and you ended up repairing what you were going after, so kudos to you‼️
The stator and clutch had already been done so I didn’t need to pull it to service them. I was also pretty intimidated by that process
The real irony in this whole story is that the pulse generator wasn’t the problem after all. It was the carbs. I cleaned and put another set on that I had acquired and the problem vanished. Love and learn !

7.14.23. If I lived near you, 💁🏻♂️I would’ve given you a hand as I’ve done these a few times,pulling the engine and put new Stators in The four cylinder gold wings.
Im thinking about doing that to my timing belt covers. Yours look pretty good
It's working fine so far.
Not sure what the part number is. Got it off of Revzilla. It's a GL1500 crank seal.
I may need to do the same on my 84. What part # did you use? Does it appear to be holding?
Hi, what PGs did you use to replace them? As far as I know they are only available for 85 and up and heard some ppl use PGs for some other bikes to replace.
I used a pulse generator off of a parts engine that I bought.
I can't shake the death wobble from my bike, my steering feels totally fine, can't feel anything at all but.. wobbles crazy.. going to try tearing the front end apart maybe I'll find something
I had that with a previous Goldwing. Have you tried making sure the front end is in alignment? There are some good videos that show how to do that. Also make sure the tire pressure is correct
@@scottfarraway34 Tire pressure is all good, i spent a few months remachining and lining up the rear, its barely .2 thou out, manual says 10 is fine, so I'm deffo in spec! id love to see some of those videos, nothing i do seems to shake the wobble...

Do the gl1200 have adjustable valves?
they are self adjusting
Hi scott where did u get piston rings for your 1979 Suzuki ? And what is the size ? Thanks
Hi Daniel. Honestly that was 8 years ago. I can’t remember. Where are you located? I could ask my bike mechanic
the problem you are having is same as I had. The solution to my problem was the clutch switch diode was bad. This diode located between the starter relay and starter button in the wire harness near the regulator/rectifier. when it goes bad it cause a dimming of the head light when the starter button is pushed. The unit that you are test should be the tail/brake light sensor.
my old Yamaha 500 DOHC had no master link in the chain, engineers be crazy
That was a cool bike!
Hi Scott, I'm fighting this same thing sight now. Trying to get cylinder down on the pistons, bought some cheap Chinese ring compressors from Amazon, but it's so difficult to get the compressor sleeve to unwrap from the piston skirt once the piston is in the cylinder, no clearance between the studs and the cylinders! Ended up breaking my new base gasket trying to pull the compressor sleeve out. What are you using here for the "plastic sleeves" ? I'd like to try your method.
Hi Mark. I think I used just an old plastic container of some sort. Maybe a margarine container. Cut it wide enough to cover the rings and zipped it with a couple of ties tight enough to compress the rings. Hope that helps
Power is loose or sum I have a problem with my silver wing where I get no power at all? Bad starter relay??
Hey Scott I’ve got a 1979 gs850 as well and I’ve got an oil leak from somewhere maybe on the front side of the engine. Do you think it’d be the same gaskets as yours or maybe a different gasket? If you need photos I’d be more than happy to give you my email and send you photos of the front side of my engine
Hi sorry for the delay in responding. It would be good to see where the oil is coming from. Those rubber o-rings it was pretty obvious because when I rode it I got oil on my shoe and pant leg. On the front og the engine it could be the tach drive seal or maybe the cam cover gasket??
dont need to pull clutch if in neutral
And dont need to be in neutral if clutch is disengaged.
I heard a loud bang one night then one click no start I've changed the solenoid twice still no start
What kind of bang did you hear? Was it a backfire or more of a metal clang? Did it happen while you were attempting to start the engine? Had the engine been running before the bang?
@@scottfarraway34 same thing here. I got a small backfire and the engine turned hard and made a bang as well I have a gl1100 26kmiles was running a few weeks ago, no problem now it won't start
@@thebreadcolonist Does the engine turn over when you attempt to start it?
@@scottfarraway34mine turns over but wont start and it just happened after running perfectly fine

Amen! Thanks for sharing brother! I love you man! You are a blessing! Im praying for you and your family! I am watching and expecting for the rapture/event to happen TONIGHT! October 31st during Halloween in America. Many brothers and sisters have had dreams of the rapture/event happening during Halloween! I cant think of a more perfect time for the loud trumpet to sound and catastrophic events taking place on the most evil holiday of the year that God despises and everyone will already be expecting to hear loud noises from the fireworks. I highly recommend not celebrating Halloween and staying home and praying. In the apocalyptic film "I pet goat 2" shows future cataclysmic events taking place on Halloween! (I do not recommend watching that film because it is demonic) October 31st (Halloween) is also the LAST day of summer on the Jewish calendar: And Jesus said he would raise us up on the last day! - John 6:40 - "For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." Jeremiah 8:20 - "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." I really can't see us being here past November 5th 2021 because the school semester has already started and children are forced to wear masks in school despite that the children and their families were protesting last year against the school board's complaining about children having a difficult time breathing and sometimes even passing out from lack of oxygen. Brothers and sisters will be losing their jobs after October 15th because they will forced to take the jab. And they will be giving the "Jab" to children ages 5-12 as early as November 5th 2021. About 4000 rockets were fired at Israel from May 9th until May 21st 2021 when they enacted a unilateral truce between Israel and the Palestinians. They are now proclaiming "Peace and safety", in 1:Thessalonians 5:3 it says "For when they shall say, peace and safety, the sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape". Remember: This is after the Abraham Accord peace deal which should have ended all wars in the middle east. I believe that 2021 is the year of the rapture because of the pandemic and near mandatory "jab" and a sister had a dream that the rapture happened right after they made the "jab" mandatory, on my channel there WAS a video of a sister that had a vision of the rapture/event and she said that it will happen before 2022 (TH-cam deleted it) I heard from someone that the USGS earthquake alerts go through the white house before they reach the public, so we are not getting accurate earthquake notifications. On my channel there is a "Guided sleep meditation video" for re-programming your mind to feel more love, gratitude and universal divine connection. I have been listening to the same video every night for the past 2 years and it has greatly improved my life in almost all aspects. It also prevents me from having bad dreams or being spiritually attacked when I sleep. It has cured my depression and saved me from suicide, that proves that it is not satanic, I believe the sister in the video is guided by God/The Holy Spirit. I give full glory to God for this comment because I have been praying everyday for God to reveal this information to me so that I can share it with everyone. "If God is everything, then we must be inside God, and God must be inside us" We will not experience any pain during the rapture/event. See you in heaven! Pray and repent of your sins to God, not to be saved, but to show respect to God and strengthen your relationship. God/Jesus loves everyone of you like as if you were the only person in the entire universe! Please share this message with your family and friends! God bless you and your family!
Thank you for your kind words friend! Soon and very soon!
