    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.

HELP, I've done my carberuttor rebuild. Rubbers new, O rings new. Suzuki carb kit(factory) ,done.
Shes been lying and waiting for six years. I bought her off a deceased estate.
Starts easy but will not idle unless I use choke or turn the idle screw up.
Airbox leak proof.
I went around the block and 4000rpm on all gears she splutters.
 
You mentioned carb rebuild and Suzuki carb kit,but it sounds like your pilot jets are clogged or the circuit is.Can you shoot carb spray through the pilot jet and see itcome out the transition holes at the butterfly, through the air jet at the front, through the fuel mixture screw?

Labels are not quite right, Rick. The only GS carbs with diaphragms in '78 and '79 were on the twins.

He has a 1000G, which started in '80. They are at least the correct carb and the "spray through the passages" concept works well. :encouragement:

That was the best I could find on short notice to illustrate what I was saying.
 
That's OK, I might have learned something tonight. :-k

I have never noticed a CV-type carb without the mounting rail holes at the top.
Will have to check a parts fiche for a GS400 or 425 to see whether they exist there.

The GS850 manual on Basscliff's site has a good section on the CVs. I like to do the spray through as a final check.

I have had a blockage between the pilot air jet and the progression holes at the butterfly. I've also had mains and pilots that passed fuel OK, but the emulsion tubes were so messed up that the fuel did not atomize properly, and the bike ran like crap, even though the spray-through looked OK
