    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.

77 gs550 fuel problems PLEASE HELP!

Ordered them today hopefuly they get here fast! Just got the carbs all back together and the new boots on so just waiting on fuel screws. Hope it works this time lol
 
Got the pilot fuel screws in and......nothing still! 2,3,4 fired on a little carb cleaner shot in the pods. Thing is officially under my skin, so pulled plugs to verify spark and it was fine on all four cylinders. Verified my ignition timing was statically set, I cracked the bowl drains on all the carbs and they had fuel. So the carbs are getting fuel, that leaves mixture right? Pilot screw settings and jetting? Hope I get some where tomorrow, she's exhausting my patience!!!! Any ideas would be great guys, thanks.
 
Well I'm 99.9 % certain the carbs are clean, however I'm not entirely sure I got the floats set right. What's an easy way to make sure the bowls are full? Maybe there's a little fuel in the bowls when I cracked the drains to fool me into thinking they were full? Sorry guys I'm kinda grasping at straws now. To be clear it won't run at all it will stumble for a second or two when hit with carb cleaner and die. Should I back the fuel screws out a little? They are set to one turn out and the air screws have been set anywhere from two turns out to half a turn out.
 
Turns out I was using some bad gas...😣 So for those of us who forget about the little things, there ya go lol thanks guys for all the help your knowledge is increadibly valuable to guys like me. Thanks again!
