    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.

Hey bike been running sweet for a little while now but this morning she was bogging a little then would pick up and fly?

did notice carbs leaking fuel a little too? I didn't have a chance to look but was from carbs as late for work and i still have a few hours left before I can have a look before the ride home any ideas?

for note its a 78 gs750 with slider carbs running pods (yes they are attached and yes are K&N ) like I said been running sweet for a while to be honest too sweet never had it running this well till this morning when the above happened.
 
Hey Guys its all fine number 4 carb had a sticky float needle (think that's what its called) i freed it up with some Carb cleaner and problem sorted.
 
You may want to have a good look at your tank for rust. Glad you got it sorted.
 
if you had a float stuck then you should change the oil as there is most likely gas in it and it will thin it out

Yes and check petcock for correct operation- no fuel should flow (in "on" and "res" spot ) when engine is off if you have a vacuum petcock.
