    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.

I just finished assembling my 82 gs650g. cleaned the carbs, but didnt adjust anything. Now the bike will start, but it dies right out. the air box is getting full of gas and it ust purs right out. I am unsure of the hose routings, but i think i have it right...my clymer doesnt really do a good job explaining where they all go. anyways, any help will be greatly appreciated. is it possible to over-prime the carbs?, because i let them fill up until i saw fuel leaking from thevent hose. i dont think the floats are stuck...i just dont know. :roll:

It sounds like a flooding problem. It doesn't take much for the floats to hang up in the bodies. It could be you accidently bumped one of the floats and its sticking. Also if you have the fuel cock on pri it may be running through. Once the bike starts you should switch it to on or reserve. You don't have to wait to see gas coming out of the vent tubes to turn it.
 
Re: gas eerywhere

I am going to make a wild guess here and ask you to check to see if you installed the float needles right side up. (the pointed end of the needle should be pointing up when installed in the carbs and carbs mounted on the bike)

yeah, im gofnna pull them back off and give em a once over...ill check all the valves and floats :?

Follow the path of the gas down from the tank, starting with the petcock. It's not in PRI (as in prime) is it? If it's not in prime, are you sure it's not leaking internally?

I suppose the problem is probably in the last thing you touched, the carbs, but you might look at the rest of the fuel feed system too.

Hello, check all of your o-rings and especially the one on the float valve. I did my carbs over last fall and the o-rings were either cracked or dried up so I replaced them all and the flooding problem went away. Good luck :)
 
hi, i actually just had the hoses hooked up in the wrong spot...but when i got it right...the o-rings were leaking between the carbs......damn it damn it damn it!!
