A carburetor kit (containing slots-jets, jet needles and vacuum pistons}, ignition control unit and carburetor control unit are now available for improved low speed driveability on affected GL1500s.
In addition. correct routing of the carburetor hoses and vacuum lines is necessary to ensure proper engine performance. Other driveability symptoms. such as idle fluctuation and afterfire, may result if the hoses and lines are pinched, kinked or loose. Pay special attention to the correct routing of flee hoses/lines described and shown in HIE bulletin.
Repair Procedure
- As part of PDI. test ride new GL1500s and check low speed engine performance. If the motorcycle has any of the symptoms noted above. perform the repairs described in this bulletin before release to your customers.
- The procedures that follow apply to both 49a State and California models.
- Carefully remove and install the plastic body parts and covers. Be sure ALL fasteners and tabs are removed or released first.
- Be sure ALL hoses arc routed as shown or described to prevent pinching or kinking. A pinched. kinked or loose hose may cause other symptoms that could contribute to poor engine performance.

The installation of the AEM ECU on the 2000-2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Lancer uses the stock sensors and actuators. The base map is automatically installed in the base calibrations directory in the AEMPro directory on your computer. It is named either 1312 Lancer.v1.00.cal or 1312 Eclipse.v1.00.cal.
Full details of the test vehicle used to generate this map can be found in the files notes section. However, while the base map is a good starting point and may save you considerable time and money, it will not replace the need to tune your specific application. It is not intended to be driven aggressively. Ignoring this can and will damage your engine.
