    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.

Hey folks,

I just had my carbs cleaned, put em back on my 84 GS400...it fired up but it seems to be only firing from one side? The exhaust is off the bike...could it be because of no back pressure? carbs? I'm pretty sure it was firing on both sides before! help...please someone telll me the cylinder isn't blown...pretty please :(
 
more input required ie was it running properly before ,why did you take carbs off what else have you touched

Check your coil connections.
Swap the plug boots to see if one has gone- they break down over several years.
Swap the plugs between cylinders.
Check your timing plate pickup wiring.

The motor should start OK with no pipes, but your neighbours will prefer you didn't do it at night. :-)

I have the pipes off of my 450 waiting on replacements. I started it up today and had a good laugh. If spongebob had a motorcycle it would sound like that. Sounded like it was blowing bubbles.

I'll give you my boss's address.
You can tell him I'm worth more money. :-)

'Course, it should really snarl like an alley cat, but purring is a good second best.
