    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.

Berryman's card dip

Where can I get it or something similar? I have cleaned my carbs in the conventional manner. (Taken apart and blown out with carb cleaner, adjusted float levels). It sometimes won't run an all cylinders until almost warmed up and the idle is irratic. The pilot screws don't seem to affect it hardly any. Runs fine when hot but might have to adjust idle speed often. I think I'm going to have to soak them.
 
Your problems could be a number of things, but starting with clean carbs is a good start

Berrymans is available at Napa, Autozone, O'Reilly's -just about any auto parts place

Don't forget your new O rings
 
Yes, just about all auto parts stores carry carb dip.

And the carbs are not going to perform properly unless you replace all the various O-rings, the O-rings on the intake boots, make sure the airbox end caps are properly sealed (the foam deteriorates), and vacuum sync the carbs.

Also, many GS owners don't ever check the valves in their engines, which can cause running problems too. Until all the various maintenance is done and up to date, you can chase your tail endlessly trying to find all the different running problems that tend to creep into 30 year old bikes.

I have done a valve adjustment on it, went through the electrics, cleaned the connections and replaced some. Everything works and tests out as it should. The 82 750 doesn't have o-rings on the intake boots. The only thing I haven't but will do is a compression check. I didn't sync the carbs yet because of the idle issue. I will get new o-rings before I do the job.

These:
Number 25.
Between the intake boot and the head.
If is any more than 10 years old (or bike running hot) they are probably shrunk and hard and not sealing, probably dont even have any characteristic of rubber any more. First time I saw one I thought it was a plastic.

Getting those screws out may be the most fun you have had in a long time.

Will be about 18 or 20 bucks.
