    Wish me luck lol.
    My mate (yes my mate) couldn't get £5 never mind £20 for his body so he sent the wife out, in the morning she proudly presented MY MATE with her earnings of £80.50p. He asked her who gave her the 50p and she replyed - they all did!
    It's commendable you're giving your time and knowledge for a Bill. Incidentally is he still with us?

    Hi Andy, have to say the lights are making the footage much clearer and also hopes it makes it easier for you to see what you are doing also. Another possible advantage is that viewers can also see what is happening and can offer some hopefully helpful advice to point out any little differences in the specs as you described such as possibly the cylinder head is not original to that block due to the middle front bolt hole issue which is very clear to see and understand from the footage. Great work and hopefully your mob won the Supertaxis at the mountain.

    My memory tells me the 850 had that 3rd screw up front as well, and a quick look at the parts fiche confirms it. I don't know what's going on there. All the 8v 1100 heads I look up have it too.

  • @TheGarnerjustin73
    @TheGarnerjustin73 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have heard from a few guys that the gs1000g head will fit on an gs850 bottom end but thats just what i have heard.

  • @andycunningham9812
    @andycunningham9812 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The chain drive 1000s had two different heads. The older models had slide carbs and the et versions had cv carbs. Thats probably the reason you were given the wrong o rings. Older models also had points ignition while the later ones with the cv carbs were electronic. There was a difference in porting with the later models supposedly having three horsepower more. As far as I remember the shaft drive models were the same

    • @DogmaFaucet
      @DogmaFaucet 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      But the 1000G only ever had one head. So I'm thinking the wrong part got ordered, or the wrong size was packed. Either one is possible. I once had an intake pipe delivered that was the opposite hand from what the part number on the bag specified. Three lefts and one right was not very useful.
      On the video, the O-ring looks large, not even considering comparing to the intake pipe.
      Another possibility is that those intake pipes are not OEM. A lot of engines used those Mikuni BS34 carbs, like snowmobiles and who knows what else.

    • @ANDY5
      @ANDY5  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mystery solved. The manifolds at least appear to be off of the earlier models, ‘78 or ‘79 I’m guessing. The local Suzuki dealer has them in stock. I wonder if the entire head was swapped at some stage?

    • @robbo1967
      @robbo1967 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its more than possible the rubber inlet stubs have been swapped for the "wrong" ones, i remember them being stupid expensive to buy new when i had some cracked ones on my GS

  • @user-rt4zj9tz4q
    @user-rt4zj9tz4q 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The early GS1000 chain drive models cylinder heads did not have a bolt at the front at the cam chain tunnel. I have a 1978 GS1000EC which I bought brand new in 1979. It looks like your bike has one of these earlier heads rather than the later GS1000/GS1000G heads.

    • @ANDY5
      @ANDY5  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, you're correct. Thanks mate I figured it out after trolling through online parts lists for the various models. My local dealer had the o-rings in stock.

    Andy ..Good to see you ...1980 on... Gs-1000g heads had bigger intake ports for the CV carbs...somebody could have put on earlier heads with smaller ports( for conventional carbs)
    .
    I hate working on something someone else has fucked with....cause you dont know whats
    been done.Glutton for punishment...Yes...Idiot ..hell no! Cost me $150 for the carb to engine
    boots on my 1980 gs-1000g .. box with every shim another 100$ but I have 2 and expect to
    die owning them...Great bike once sorted....Cheers!

    • @ANDY5
      @ANDY5  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ve already sussed out that it is an early head, the local Suzuki dealer has the o-rings in stock. Yeah some people just shouldn’t mess with bikes 😕

  • @johnmeade6889
    @johnmeade6889 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice work Andy, maybe you should have said wish me luck earlier, then the mic wouldn't have died and you would have got the right size O rings, don't think you need any luck, just that other muppet needs lots of it.

    • @ANDY5
      @ANDY5  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      These radio mics eat batteries, I just need to keep a closer eye on it. It’s not like I can go back and re shoot. In this case it wasn’t too bad because it was only me explaining the o-ring issue, so I was able to do that and not lose any real content.

    Call me old fashioned, but i just grimace and pull funny faces when i see power tools used on fasteners on a motorcycle. Especially something like M8 into alloy castings. Regards Andy.

    • @ANDY5
      @ANDY5  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. In this case I had already run them up most of the way by hand and did the final tightening by hand.

    • @UrbanMonkTV
      @UrbanMonkTV 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My dad used to get squeamish whenever he'd watch me turn a wrench. Fear of the "what if" scenario running through his head. He'd slap my hand out of the way and yell, "Don't force it!" Then he'd grab the wrench and proceed to force it himself. I've had to forgive him his shortcomings as he's had to forgive mine, but I could wrench circles around him from a very young age. Bottom line, a power tool in an experienced hand is fine in my mind. I trust Andy has developed a good sense of feel over the years.

    I think it's a normal saying "sell my body for it, I'm not gay but a dollar is a dollar!.
    Perfect Choice for it.
    Let the hating Cun-no-Grunts complain away. Hardly no one uses our old sayings, and it's becoming less common everyday.
    I got absolutely Hauled for saying "hiding behind her skirt strings" cos idiots thought "that's sexual" instead it means being fearful for no reason!.
    That's our Aussie culture, that's our way of life... We live like that, we speak hard and work harder!.
