    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...

    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.

Hey All,
Back again, I'm one of the many still fighting with the 79 GS 1000L carbs. I've tried all the suggestions & none seem to help. I'm going to remove the carbs again & resoak them for a couple of days & see if that helps. I only soaked them several hours worring about the plastic parts. I have another question, I have a 79 GS 850 I got for parts. I haven't tried this yet but would the stock airbox off it fit & provide enough air flow for my 79 GS 1000 ? It appears that if might be easier to wrestle into the area that held the stock box on the 1000. I would have to go back to my stock #95 mains from #120's probably. I'm not so sure I want pods on anyway if I'm going on long rides as unstable as the weather is in Wyoming. The 1000 has a Suzuki 4 into 1 exhaust & I don't have the stock ones. Will this combo possibly work, 850 stock airbox, #95 jets, & really clean carbs???
Thanx for all your help...
God Bless,
..TJ...
 
Hy TJ,

If it's any consolation, I rode the other day in a soaking rain for hours, with my pod filters I had no problem. Not trying to talk you out of the stock air box mind you, just letting you know I was worried too, and it turned out fine.
 
Same here. My pods run fine in the rain all day.
My rain pants however... :roll:
Lets just say my butt gets real wet.
:x
 
Thanx for the tip guys. They pods are Emgo's..Any ideas on the 850 airbox fitting/flow ??
...TJ...
 
I have no info on what to do with the "Airbox" setup.
I threw mine away when building the bike's carbs and never looked back.
