    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.

i have a 1980 gs850 that i have redone and now when the bike warms up the carbs stick open. the cable is new and the carbs have been cleaned a couple of times. everything works perfect until it is warmed up. when it sticks the cable is free and slides easily but the butterflies are stuck. with a slight touch they close back but if you rev engine again they stick again. i'm lost on this one, hoping someone else has had this problem before.
 
Sounds like a hanging idle because of vacuum leaks.

Check the newbie mistakes thread for info on this and more tidbits that should help you.
 
The throttle plates ( thru their linkage) rest on a soild stop provided cable lets them. On my bike, I can put my hand on the idle stop screw and feel them hit the stop when throttle cable tension is released. Did you bench sync these carbs? Properly set, all plates will appear just barely open the same amount when resting on idle stop screw.

as mentioned, you probably have airleaks.
