    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.

I replaced the float valves, needles, petcock, plugs and now it runs but have no accelleration.

1983 Suzuki GS850L
 
I left the floats where they were stock, I didn't know there was a float adjustment. I thought the carbs must be out of sync
. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Float

Float

Any time you mess with the float needles and seats you need to check the float adjustment. Measure from the gasket surface to the point of the float where it steps down from the hinge. I don't know your specs but my cv carbs for a GS1100 are 21.4mm to 23.4mm. If you have the gasket on minus 1mm from that.
 
You still have problems with the carbs OR it could be the air filter

Are you sure it runs on all four?
