    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.

Went to go out today, started bike and noticed fuel pouring ou between 3 & 4 carb.
Bike is Gs1000g fitted with pods, have had these on for last 10 years and all ok.
Noticed it was coming from vent tee, so dropped bowl on these two and there was some tiny black specs, cleaned and refitted and all seemed ok.
Went for ride and after 5 miles whist sitting in traffic noticed fuel was again pouring out, headed back removed bowl from four, fuel looked clear, removed float and needle all looked ok, still to do 3 any ideas as to what might be cause.
Didn't want to strip carbs yet it is on my list for the coming winter.
Should say that 1&2 carbs are not leaking.
Any ideas?
 
Pray to the voodoo god for no more spewage. If that doesn't work try fixing the carbs right (needles are leaking). Check for crud in the tank getting though and fouling the needles too.
