Hey guys,
I have a GSXL that's been causing me some trouble all summer. I've gone through quite a few troubleshooting steps so far and there hasn't been much of an improvement yet.
So the issues I'm having are poor throttle response off idle and the thing fouls plugs in about 15-20 minutes. The carbs have just been rebuilt with genuine parts, jets are standard, needles are new with new o-rings and set to 1 1/4 L and 0 H. raves are clean, engine was redone by the previous owner but has mediocre compression.. Maybe 115psi.. This could be my issue as well but hoping not.
A quick question on this.. If the squish is excessive could that cause a 20psi drop in compression? verifying squish is on the to-do list...
Also, the engine seems to run quite hot. the exhaust pipe is almost too hot to touch whereas on my other GSXL's its hot but only a bit.
On my to-do list is to verify RAVE operation, verity squish, and check exhaust gaskets and ports to make sure silicone from PO didn't plug something up. That's pretty much it. Any other suggestions? Just looking for things to check out here as I'm pretty stumped.
Thanks in advance! If any of you want to know any more info or have me answer questions about the ski just let me know and I'll do my best.
