    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.

Fuel Delivery Issues- 1986 GS450L

Hey there-

I have a 1986 GS450L and man, let me tell you- she just isn't happy.
Had troubles with her dying while idling and discovered that the inline fuel filter needed to be replaced. Did that and now anytime I open my throttle to give her gas she just dies on the spot. In the beginning I was able to keep her afloat by turning my idle screw way up, but now that won't even work. Ive heard it might be the butterfly clip not staying open?

Any guidance is so very much appreciated! This is my first bike, and unsuspectedly my first rebuild.
 
Where did you get the new fuel filter? Is the flow rate sufficient for a motorcycle or did you perhaps use a lawn mower filter? Is it installed in the right direction?
 
The hose that the inline connects- would I just cap it then? Or what would be my options in stop the flow of gas that normally fills the filter?
