    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.

1982 GS850GLZ bogging down

Guys,

My 1982 850GLZ has always tended to run lean and runs best with a heavily oiled foam filter. I have my air fuel mix screws out 3-3/4 turns. So now, when I took it for a spin after a very in depth and careful carb balance (its perfectly balanced and idles beautifully at 1100 rpm) , it bogs down as I hit the throttle and doesnt accelerate well and then as rpms climb around 6k rpm it pulls good to redline...but doesnt pull well at lower rpms...this ia a new issue...used to pulll fine through the rpm range.

Ideas? Best idle method drove me to 3-3/4 turns.. I could prob dial back to 3.5 but not much lower.

Sounds like the tiny holes in pilot citcuit aren't completely open. 3 to 4 turns out to get decent idle seems excesive. Since this is new issue, try a good dose of fuel cleaner (seafoam or somesuch). - But the stuff about always tending to run lean suggests carb cleaning is calling.
