My brother had his 1000G fail once. Clean oil and fresh plugs, and a clean and oiled foam filter did the trick.

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.

Well, I had the carbs apart for the fourth time, reset float heights, checked needle valves, the whole shebang. Reset the idle screw and ensured gaskets were gasketing, hooked up the tank, no leaks. :dancing: I took it for a test ride and it actually ran better than I have ever had it going. Smooth easy idle within 1200prms, smooth responsive throttle, I know people could see me smiling under my helmet. So I go out to ride it to work this morning, no leaks in the garage, ride it down the road about 3 miles and it's leaking gas AGAIN from the same carb. 
Smack on the side of the carb with a small flashlight, nothing. I do believe that the float has a small crack just at the point where the floating part attaches to the "arm" causing it to fill with gas and sink instead of float. I'm gonna get another today at the boneyard and I'll bet that takes care of my gas leak AND the emissions issue. On the bright side, I can take apart my bike like a dang one person pit crew.
