This is a great site! .... Long story short...I recently came across 2 GSXs with a tandem trailer. One was a 96 with 56 hours on it and the other is a 97 with 49 hours on it. The owner said he has not used these since 2004 and wanted to get rid of them since the lake cabin he had was for sale. After checking the compression and checking for any codes I gave him 3k for everything. I cleaned out the carbs, checked and added 1oz 30wt to the 97 balance shaft oil inspection port, checked the wear rings and impellers, shot foaming oil in the cylinders and turned the enging over by hand distributing the oil etc before getting them into the water. Once I got them into the water they started right up. Ran them for about 10 minutes at no more than 1/2 throttle just getting them loosened up after a long storage period. After that I took a shot at mid to full throttle. There was no hesitation or stumble which is surprising considering the length of time they were in storage.
Now here is my question...The fuel gauge does not work on either one so I was going to use the proceedure on this site to fix them. I cannot manipulate the fuel baffle tube out of either one. I take it the tank needs to come out to do this. How do you get the tank out without taking out the engine???? Any help would greatly appreciated!
