    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

This from Ninja site - similar carb design- basic advice to point you in right direction. (I don't want you to be sitting idle in "little tiny mature people town")




Once the screws are exposed, turn them all the way in (gently - not too tight!) then back them out 2 1/2 turns each. This is the basic setting. It can be further modified after you put the carbs back on the bike. (With a Muzzy/pod filters setup the screws will be opened a little more.)
So, put the carbs back on the bike; go for a ride. Come home with a warm engine. Park and leave it idling. Put on a jersey glove or something to protect your hand from the heat. Use a small screwdriver to turn in each screw until the cylinder for the screw being adjusted starts to miss, then turn it back out 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
Alternate method: Set the screws out to 2 turns, then back them out 1/4 turn at a time while blipping the throttle. If it hangs at all, it's too lean. Turn the screw out, which richens the mixture. If it drops below idle when returning, it's too rich. Turn the screw in, which leans out the mixture

hi guys ,,, thanks for your help,,, well yesterday i thought i almost had it in the morning i dropped my needle from the last bottom clip position to the third from the bottom ,, carbys ar nice and clean ,,they have now cleaned twice ,,i adjusted the mixture screws to 2 turns so they were all the same ,,and it started first off nicely ,, let it warm up them reved it straight up went nicely ,, then let it die slightly to 3500-4000 about then quickly reved it again and again ,,,it still fluttered ,,i let it go back to idle and wait a few seconds the a clean rev up and up he went ,,, ,,,i,m only 1 clip groove off being back to standard ,,, its nearly in the middle i thought i may try making it leaner on the mixture screws take the screws back to standard 2-2/2 turn and a tad more and see how he goes ,,,,,,, i have also notice that at Z1 in my year gs1000e ,,, in the main jet sizes there are about 4 different sizes so maybe i,m getting tooooo much overhang from my big 117 mains jets i put in and the needle.. i may try and get 2 lots of needles 112/114 something like these whatever they are exactly at z1 in usa ... regards oldgrumpy :mad:
