    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.

Ok guys, i started the ol GS this morning, no problem. I decided i was gonna go ahead and paint the engine today. I taped everything off, took off the foot break, and started. I just finished and i tried to start it, but it will only start if i hold the throttle and keep it reved up a little. If i let it drop down to idle, it dies. I got a little paint on 1 of the spark plugs, but i took some sand paper and cleaned it off. Any ideas??
 
ok i replaced the plugs and still nothing?? Come on, someone has to have an idea??
 
Are you sure you didn't move anything else when you painted it? Did paint get into a carb vent somehow? Did you paint over the area where the spark plug grounds to the engine?
 
ok guys im a retard. The bike will run a lot better if you put the plug wires on where they are supposed to go.
