As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    #4 carb acting the fool

    Oh ok, good to know. Pilot fuel holes all look good. No broken tips. Didn't notice any difference in size when I had them apart last week, but I'll take another look tonight.

    #4 carb acting the fool

    Too late, the carb is already soaking. I can try that when I get it put back together, but isn't crossing the leads like that bad for the motor? Was thinking about that. I needed a new tool anyway. Won't be able to get this all put back together until tomorrow. Thanks for all the suggestions...

    #4 carb acting the fool

    1. Both...I think. I know for a fact the air screw sits lower. I'll check the fuel pilot screw again later. 2. You're probably right. 3. It's etched into the metal, like it's rotted or something. Not sure how I would clean it off. I cleaned the carb pretty thoroughly. I'll pull it out and spray...

    #4 carb acting the fool

    1979 GS750L. All carbs (VM, Mikuni 26mm) have been dipped 24 hours, blown out, sprayed out and properly cleaned. New O-Rings all around. The floats are all set at 25.5mm (high spec for a 79). Slides have been synched (using the Morgan carbtune). Airbox has been sealed (one side is with weather...

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    Got a new carb body from tkent2 (thanks again, Tom!). Got it installed last night and had just enough time to check that the bike started up and ran. Will synch tonight and—hopefully—ride tomorrow.

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    No, the o-ring is out of there. If you look at the first image, you can see that the carb threads are ripped out of there at the top of the hole and flattened out deeper in (vs, the picture of the clean threads). I have no idea how this happened. The screw came out just fine...

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    I tried the tap, it slipped right past the threads. I could try a size larger, but I'm afraid the screw won't fit properly then. Let me know what you'd want for one of those carb bodies. It's the right most carb on the bike.

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    Thanks Ollie. I'll take a look.

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    I'll try and take some pictures when I get home tonight. The mixture screw isn't stuck in the carb. It only goes about half way in and sticks. I'll try and see if I can get at the threads in the carb body with a pick or something. They don't look too bad, so hopefully it is just dirty...

    Jammed Air Mixture Screw. Tips?

    '79 GS750L is the bike. I was cleaning my carbs in an attempt to get ready for spring. Getting everything put back together on the last carburetor and my mixture screw gets jammed like it is cross threaded. After a few tries to get it seated properly I'm stuck with a bit of a mangled mixture...
