! Thanks, Yep, when I ground it the oil pressure light comes on. I've run through many of the wires, cleaned up many connections, and still have yet to find a missing link. I'm going to double check the diagram to reality a bit more this afternoon but I'm stumped. It's hard to believe it could...

Thanks! The choke is lever operated. I'm going off the manual wiring diagram on that oil pressure switch wire but still haven't found the connection for it...?? But, when I ground it I still don't get a spark coming to the spark plugs while trying to start the bike. I mean, the bike ran before...

With my limited knowledge, the only things I can make notice of now are there is a wire (G/Y) going to the "oil pressure switch" which is just hanging unconnected but I don't see an oil pressure switch to connect it to and on the wiring diagram there is supposed to be a 15A fuse coming from the...

Well, she's got points. AND, today I removed the plugs (dry) after a couple more start attempts and voila: NO SPARK when I try to start. The bike was running before I removed the carb assembly and that is the ONLY thing I touched!! I have the wiring diagram and am going over that right now to...

Thanks! Yeah, the way the bike has been rigged the starter button (run) has been bypassed and it will only turn on with the killswitch on! So, it's not that, any possibility it's something in the float bowl? Wrong adjustment? Flooded? ...so frustrating!

I recently finished dismantling, jetting, and cleaning the carbs. Bike ran before I did so and that is the only thing I have messed with. Adjusted the jets to run one notch richer and that's it. Now, she cranks and cranks but will not fire up. I've checked compression, spark plugs, fuel getting...

Wow, that's a rare happy ending. My suggestion: try your hand at the powerball this week.

Hey man, I might be in need of such service and am in Chicago too! Pm'ed.

Hey folks. I recently picked up a beat up old 77' Suzuki GS550 here in Chicago that needs some TLC and I'm looking to consume a bit of knowledge on all things related to making her a nice little cafe piece, I've got a bit of spare change since I bought the sucker for 400 bucks! Me: I'm 29...

Hey folks, new to the forum by way of user name but have been lurking for a bit since I picked up a 77 GS550 for $400 about a month ago. Just another Chicago dude living in Ukranian Village looking to get this clunker running, and perhaps, perhaps, give the bike a decent appearance!
