I have been dealing with or procrastinating fixing a coolant leak. Found the problem today, actually three problems on the ST 1100. First filler neck was cracked with broken pieces in the radiator, lots of crud in the radiator, flushed and cleaned it. Hose under carb looked like it was leaking at some point so I replaced those as well. And the pesky over flow drain line was cracked. I thought I fixed this a while back by just clipping off the end and plugging it back in, but over the last few weeks the line completely split. So I replaced that one too with other hoses and t-stat.
While I was in there, replaced the timing belt. Hardest part to the belt replacement is just getting to it. The old one looked absolutely perfect for being on a 1994. Interesting that I don't think this was the original belt because it was off a few teeth or a few degrees. The motor has been running like crud at idle since Iv'e had it, I hope this helps.
Finally putting it back together with special attention to the boot isolators, new, the old ones may not have been se aling. I was hoping to get or make a fuel mixture tool, too much of a pain. Why would they invent that type of fuel mixture screw....nutz
Where can I find a mixture tool?
Putting it back togeher and hopefully get it started tonight and close this can of worms//
