Rebuild motor GP1200, run in and tune.

We take to water after rebuild and do a run in first. Then check acceleration feeling, turn feeling also carby tune if need.
This river is good to run in because always water condition is smooth also I can see some good view.

Cruising beside of water front houses.

Rebuild motor GP1200, carbys service

Carby assy
Dismantled carbys
Fuel pump diaphragm were stretched.
One way valve of fuel pump were squashed. This may cause to pumping problem of fuel as make fuel lean.

LH original, RH improve parts as avoid to squash pump valve.

Rebuild motor GP1200, extra inspection

Engine mounts
All condition are good

Make sure engine bottom bolts tension with torque-wrench.
Drain oil and check inside and cleaning.
Check and clean oil filter. Check work of oil level sensor.

Fuel tank, drain all fuel

Found water about 200cc from bottom of tank

Inspect fuel sender
Res fuel line pipe hit or very close the bottom cover and this may cause of choke fuel flow and make a fuel lean.
It's like a this from another angle
Cut bottom of pipe.

Fuel cap
Seal rubber been damaged. Needs new seal.
This may cause water get into fuel tank.

Pressure test of fuel tank with sender, fuel tap, fuel hoses. All good.

Rebuild motor GP1200, measure warpage

Another important inspection of when rebuild motor.
Measure warpage of flat face of engine parts.
Use straightedge and thickness gauge.
Cylinder is check cylinder top, bottom and exhaust side. This cylinder is all good.

Crank case top is good.

Cylinder head is out of specification. Needs resurfacing.

We check all parts when rebuild job for avoid pressure leak problem.
Rebuild job is not just dismantle parts and assembling parts, must needs check and inspect parts.
