    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

I have a 1981 gs450L great condition...sat for about a decade...i put some cleaner through the engine to help both cylinders work...but one side would cut in and out...when the engine was hot it seemed to run great...i took the carb. off and cleaned the jets and replaced the carb...my problem is getting the airbox attached to the carb...those inner boots to the airbox are a pain...my question is does the carb. need to have an airtight seal to the airbox? could a guy use something else instead of those boots? they are impossible to get back inside the airbox with that lip inside...PLEASE HELP... Thanks
 
Yes, it needs to be sealed...otherwise you run the risk of
sucking c**p into your clean carbs. Do a "search" on this subject,
there is a few tricks mentioned on how to do this.
 
I used to install the boots without the metal inner clip/plate/ whatever and then put it in afterwards from the inside.
 
Me too Jethro.

Bigpoppakdog, if your talking about the boot has kinda come out of the airbox and you cant get it to fit in there perfectly, I took a hair dryer to the boot and airbox, it warmed them up and made the both very plyable, then it went in no problem.
 
thanks

thanks

I will try a heat gun....thanks for the info....
