    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hello again all, a big thanks in helping me get my bike to the point it?s at now. I broke down and ordered the K&L carb rebuild kits as my needle seats are leaky. The kit also comes with jets, orings, gaskets, and the fuel screw. My question is should I bother to uncap the fuel screws and replace them, or are they still ok after all this time? If the vote is to indeed to replace them, how do you pop those pesky caps off?

P.S. 81 GS750E

Your in The Colony???? - How is it that we haven't "run into" each other???

To answer your question(s) - yes, you are going to have to remove those caps and clean out the idle circuits - the best way is to carefully drill them out.

Let me know where you live - I can always drop by and lend a hand!! 8)
 
Well, we probablly haven't "run into" each other because my bike hasn't seen the road in almost 5 years. I've had it for 2 of those years (suzuki sin) but haven't had time/money to start working on it! Buddy, I'll take all the help I can get with this thing. This is the first time I've dug into a bike this far, but with the help of this forum, I've got alot done.

The parts should hopefully show up this friday, so I'll dig in on Saturday.
 
Don't trust him!!!! He drives a shafty!!! Well, a rather nice shafty...okay, okay, I admit it, I lust after his bike BUT he still drives a shafty (and knows what he is talking about)!

Hap :wink:

Sean, this is one individual you have to watch out for!! If we can get your bike running soon, you can actually meet this particular gsr member in person - he'll be attending our fall hill country run this October - he'll be the one on the red 1100 screamer :twisted: Hap is also one of the best to consult if you'd like to add horsepower, install swingarm bearings, find oil leaks, diagnose electrical problems - the list just never ends. He's owned his bike since it was new and has logged almost a quarter of a million miles on those same wheels!! 8)
 
Hmmm, add horse power... Actually at this point my goal is just to ride it around the block!

After that, I need to get some serious seat time as I myself haven?t been on two wheels for a long while.
 
Mark I went to the member list to PM you and noticed we're in the same profession!

Maybe we can trade notes on more than just GSs

-Sean
 
Cool!! Too bad these old bikes don't have any computerized parts - we could probably really mess things up :!: :twisted:

But then again, there is something to be said for simplicity ... 8)
