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.

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.

First, if he told you that he is, umm, confused. Those carbs are set for your exact engine.
Second, please explain what you mean by installing a kit and how you went about it.
Thanks.
 
On top of the Kids post, my I also suggest that either your float settings are off, your float needle and or seat, are not doing their jobs, and thirdly...your petcock isn't working, either.

OH, bythe way.. WELCOME to the GSR. There are a lot of VERY bright bulbs in here. Suggestions should be seen more as must-do's...

Hard to tell from that picture. It does say "you'll get the right kit", but please tell me that you didn't pay $46 bucks a piece, for that "kit".

Does the bike leak fuel just sitting on the center stand and NOT running?

If so...where from?
 
yea i did :(bought 4 of then

the gas only comes from the hose when running
 
I recommend you rebuild the carbs again, using the tutorial linked in my signature. I'd reuse as many of the original real Mikuni jets as possible. A Cycleorings.com kit is highly recommended.

Good luck
 
Yup. Pull all the metal parts off. Get a cycleorings kit. Get a set of fuel bowl gaskets. Using Nessism's tutorial on BassCliff's website, rebuild your carbs correctly. Install the original Mikuni parts. Ride. And put those kit parts in the "Lessons Learned" drawer.
 
Float needles and/or petcock leaking dumping fuel into carbs, and subsequently the engine. You need to fix the leak source and change the oil. If your gas tank has rust inside particles can hold the float needles off their seats and cause overflows. Please review all the basics and good luck.
 
ok i hate to be a noob but i have to ask lol,
if the petcock i dumping to much gas into the carbs shouldn't the floats act as a stop i know that they are good because i took the floats and let them soak in water and didn't any bubbles so they are good.?? .or is it just the fact that its to much gas and the carbs can't handle it
 
No, that would be the needle and seats failing to seal. This normally happens when there are particulates in the needle and seat, although the float level could also be set incorrectly.
