Topic: GL1000 problem...

[bert96]

 The engine run only on 3 cylinder,the cyl #2 is the problem but i have 130 of compression,i have spark and fuel,i know it sound weird and it should run well...any idea 

[333]

Have you made sure there's no water in the #3 carb?  How about checking the valve clearance?

I hate Goldwing carbs.........

Theres a seriously crazy amount of passages in them and thier CV to boot.

First off....did you clean the carbs?

Go to Randakks page. He has instructions and kits/

 We have install 2 weber IDF 40(brand new!) and the intake from Randakk.

 I think the valve clearance is good because i have a good compression,there is no water in the carbs(2 webers),they are new from the box

But 130 isn't that good.  OK, but not great.  There has to be some reason for it not to be firing.  Maybe the plug itself.

[kghost]

You try pulling the plug...sticking the cap back on...and grounding it to the frame.

Then cranking to see if that plug was actually firing?

[bert96]

yep,and the spark is good

[kghost]

I know alot about GL1000's...I had two of them.

But I don't know squat about those Downdraft Webers....

If you have spark...its gotta be that its not getting fuel.

If I recall correctly from pictures at nakedgoldwing and randakks site....

It feeds down each cylinder pipe individually....gotta think that 3 isn't getting gas.

[bert96]

 yeah,more i think about that more i think is gas too,but i did not thought about that first because the carbs are new...anyway thanks for your helps guys,i will check that in my days off

just because the plug fire's doesn't alway's mean it can hold it or maybe week under load.

Yeah but the other one is firing so it kinda rules out points and coil.

I believe he's saying that the plug may still be bad.  I would suggest moving the plug and see if the problem follows the plug.

[bert96]

I did,i replace the new plug with the old plug,still have the same problem

Then I'd go back to checking the valve clearance.  If it's not sucking in gas, it won't have any thing to fire.  It's got to be either lack of fuel or lack of fire.
