Some 1988 GL1500s may experience a slight hesitation during light acceleration. This condition usually occurs just above idle speed. 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. (Also refer to Service Bulletin GL1500s #1 for carburetor vent hose routing and vacuum fuel valve installation.)

The all-new 2010 Cadillac SRX midsize crossover represents a significant departure from its rear-drive predecessor as a more integrated and highly styled entry. It’s based on General Motors’ all-new global midsize front-drive crossover architecture (also called Theta-Epsilon). The new SRX has a dramatic presence — from its prominent shield grille and large, center-positioned wreath and crest to the vertically oriented, contemporary “tailfin” taillamps that incorporate more than 40 LEDs per lamp.

The ATS Co-Pilot module commands the lock-up clutch of the torque converter along with the exhaust brake, if equipped, to stay engaged. This allows for up to 100% of the retarding force to be transferred in 3rd and 4th gear and the transmission oil temperature to remain low because of little to no slippage occurring when the converter is in these selected gears. When the ATS Valve Body is installed, you can use engine braking in the low-speed position of nearly 12 mph in 1st or 2nd gear.
