    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.

GS1K Carb fuel line "T" connection fix; Teflon tape?

Hi all,

It's been awhile since I have visited here, and my 78 GS1000 has been in storage awaiting completion for various reasons. After a complete carb rebuild and intake rubber replacement, I just now got around to completing the assembly a year later. She started right up and is running good, however the "T" fuel line connection is leaking severely. Just wondering if anyone has used the yellow Teflon tape ( used for gasoline and gas fittings), and if it was effective. Also read SqDancer's remedy of o-rings squished in next to the carbs; how is it working out if anyone else has used it.

Don't want to take these carbs down one more time; this will make number four:|
 
Not sure if the yellow tape is necessary, but I have used it more than once. Just be sure to use PLENTY of wraps.
