    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.

Bench Sync Question

Hello all,

I am doing a bench sync on my VM26 carbs; while doing so, using the Musser carb rebuild instructions of BassCliffs website, my #2 carb slide does not completely close as the rest of the carbs do when bottoming out the slides. I would say there is .5 mm difference with light shining through ( the others are little or no light coming through). The difference seems to be in the adjustment screw as there is no adjustment left to lower the slide further. So in this case should I sync the rest of the carbs to the #2 carb?

Here is a picture of #2 and #1.

Other strange things going on here; the idle screw adjustment has very little adjustment left when contacting the cable pully, maybe 1 1/4 full turn. This bike, a '78 GS1000C, has had parts from other bikes added to it for replacement, most obvious was a 80-81 tank; a seat that has had the seat hinges modified to fit; and now I am thinking that carb parts and associated linkage may have been swapped in. Definately a mutt.
 
I think you are going to have to sync around that one slide. The bike won't run with the slides completely closed so no worry with that.

Lift the other slides to match that one and they ALL will come down. :D

Yah, raise the other three slides. the spring will close the gap with the raising of the last slide. Find the middle of that adjustable range.

If you're re really far off, you might have to loosen the bellcrank bolt from the throttle rod to find the mid-point of the arms rotation about hole in the rod.
