    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.

85 GS1150 carb question

Are the 2 nipples on the airbox side of the GS1150 carbs, 1 on #1 & 1 on #3, just float bowl vents ? If not what are they ? In the manual it just shows the hose running over the top of the air filter box and ending as best I can tell. Sorry for all the questions, this bike was kind of a put it together kit
 
Are the 1150 carbs different or are you not numbering them correctly? :-k

Carbs are numbered from left to right, as if you were sitting on the bike.

#1 is under your clutch hand, #4 is under your throttle hand.

Yes, the nipples (and the hoses that attach to them) on carbs 2 and 4 are, indeed, vents.

I was always told they numbered from left to right sitting on the bike. If youre right then its #2 & #4. Anyway thanks for verifying what I thought. Did you know that if you leave the float limiter off the needle & seat gas will flow out of one of them, I do. That's something you don't want to learn after the carbs are back on the bike. That's what old age back pain will do for you.

OK, those carbs are definitely set up a bit different than most other GS carbs. :-k

Yes, those are indeed carbs 1 and 3, yes, they are still vent hoses, yes, they still do the same function.

Are they any harder to get off and on ? What is the difference out of curiosity ?
