Hello all!
I bought an 1997 SW type ST1100 (with Pair system) about 3 weeks ago. I really enjoyed the ride home, but everytime i stopped it's started to stall, so i had to gave throttle to it. To me this looked like that the pilots either plugged or mixture is bad.
So i took out the carbs (inside a 40 pilot) cleaned every part. The pilot jet was partially plugged.
I put it together does not wanted to start with choke only if i opened the throttle, also the plugs became black (like dusty), and after some time it stalls. So i started to play with pilot screws. Now i am at one turn out only, starts with choke, but still stalls, and plugs still black (i wiped it, put it back, run it a little - 5 min, then stalls). No popping.
I checked the pilot, if i screw it in it's closing the tunnel, also if i remove the pilot jet and spray carb cleaner inside, it's coming out at the pilot port.
I changed fuel filter, air filter, fuel pump, removed the vacum fuel cutoff.
I am hopeless, should i screw the pilot more? (Under 1?) Could be this aftermarket pilot screw behave differently then the stock one?
I attached a picture about the plug.
Thanks for everyone!
