    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.

Anyone in the Massachusetts area near Leominster, Marlborough, or Worcester that would rent a carb sync tool to be used on a 1978 GS 750?

I am trying to work the demons out of my old bike. I rebuilt the carbs and have to balance them?

Let me know. Thanks

Tom
 
Good luck with this, I agree its a lot to buy one of them tools for the short amount of time you use it. I made a homemade version for like $10 in parts from the hardware store... but if I had to use it again I would make the hoses a few feet longer.

I can perhaps send you some pick but would recommend you find yourself a real one.
 
I know someone in the area with 1, I did his and mine. I think I can borrow it from him again, pm me and we can get together.
 
Hey Paul,

We both could help him out. Kinda do whats been going on out on the west coast, a garage tune party!
 
Garage tune party - East coast style.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm in Shirley MA. Not far. Sent PMs to both of you.

I have a garge to keep out the weather. The bike "tune" I plan needs a little debugging to figure out some of the quirks of the machine.

She'll start right up with the carbs rebuilt but #3 is currently cold.

I plan to re-check spark, timing, gap, compression, and vacuum.

I've had the bike forever. Hasn't been on the road since 2001. This is my first resurrection ;-) Been riding a V-strom in the meantime.

Let me know what works for you both. Otherwise I'll borrow / rent the tool if that works.
