    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...

    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.

Going through a 79 GS850 Here
Cleaned carbs well, 2 carbs running, 2 are rich/flooding.
Have no idea what fuel and air screws should be set to initially before sync
also need syncronization information
I have proper tools but no manuals or info.
Can't seem to find any info on this model with mikuni carbs.

Thanks for the help

Just how did you clean the carbs "well"? :-k

Hopefully you did quite a bit more than just dropping the float bowls and spraying with some cleaner. The guide that Nessism referenced is the best thing going, If you don't follow that procedure, you will only be taking the carbs apart again when you come back and do it right. :-\\\

I just received the morgan carbtuner and colour tuner. Now i need to patch up the exhaust. Patch one spot but there is another one. Sounds easy, NOT! I don't dare take the right side off or try to take it off, something about pandora's box or can of warms.

Driftcreek, i've been told that the exhaust should not be leaking if you want a good carb sync with your manometer.

Not sure how i'm going to address this problem.
 
carbs in good shape

carbs in good shape

bike running well. used the guide given to me. I did not disassemble the chokes, however. The bike has 14K original and the carbs were drained before storage. They came up real clean, jets were clear. once I bench synced, it ran beautifully. It is time to see why I have no rear brakes. The exhausts are sealed and quiet. Thanks
