    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.

GS550T running problem

I have a 81' gs550t that I bought recently this month and used info from this forum to get running again (carb rebuild and valves adjustment). Had it going well for a week or so, but brought it into a local shop to get 2 exhaust bolts that were broken extracted and the flange replaced. Upon getting it back I rode 10 ft and it died and they said it would cost more for them to look at further. Turning the idle screw really high and just keeping it in mid to high revs was the only way I got it home. Back home now and it idles just fine, but if I give it any gas it starts to die out again. Do I need to re-adjust the carbs and fuel mixture screw? or is there something else I'm missing here?
 
can you give more info on the bike ? airbox or pods ? Is there a fuel filter in place ? When you say carb rebuild, I assume you mean it was fully stripped and dipped for 24 hours, and all soft parts replaced, bench synched and vacuum synched is that correct ?
 
Stock airbox, no fuel filter, and yeah did all that with the carbs
