    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.

Secondly, when having a VM22SS bank apart and putting them together, you absolutely must use threadlock (the kind you can break free again, for example loctite 221) on the screws fixing the carbs to the carrier plate.

Very good advice, but does not apply here. :-k

His 1980 550 has BS32SS carbs.

Well today I put the O-rings in and no help. ............

I gather you are refering to the Carb boot O-rings (up against the head).

I had hanging idle like you described, replaced the carb boot orings, and that took care of the problem.

THen a few years later it came back - worse.
GOt the carb o-ring kit, and replaced all the carb o-rings that I could without breakaing carbs down from the rack, meaning; did not replace the orings around the enricher (choke) plunger.
Didnt help.
SO I tore them down further, broke the carbs apart from the rack, replaced the o-rings around the enricher (choke) plunger, and THAT took care of the high hanging idle. At that same time, since carbs were broken down to individual carb bodys, I also gave each a 24 hour soak in berryman carb cleaner, and that took care of some other carb related stumbles.
