    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Correct. You have Mikuni VM28SS carbs. You'll also hear them called manual or slide carbs or just VMs.

Steve's photo is of Mikuni BS carbs aka CVs. They're quite different.

I just went back and re-read through the entire thread. The ONLY mention of a bike was "GS1000S".
It was made for only two years, so it was a 50/50 chance.

Until now, I see NO indication of year of bike or type of carbs, so it's still a guess.

You ARE going crazy, that's why you joined the assylum.

Please note that "CV" is a type of carb, not the model. The "CV" stands for "constant-velocity", which is due to the variable venturi provided by the moving slide. The model is actually "BS", as in "Mikuni BS34SS".

The carbs that you have are "VM" carbs, as in "Mikuni VM28SS".

If you call them "SV" carbs, nobody will know what you are talking about.

Sorry Steve, ive redressed the lack of info now in my sig hopefully. And the SV was a typo, I meant VM :rolleyes: Think I was thinking of SU carbs Ive messed with in the past :D
