    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.

idle mixture screw springs

I pulled the carbs on my 80 gs1000g and found that at one time in this bikes life some left out all but one of the springs on the mixture screws. I went digging through my carb collection to see if maybe i could find some springs. I found some but they were a bit longer the the one that was in one of the carbs. Could those tiny bit longer spring be effecting how far down the screw bottoms out.

the bike is getting way to much fuel, to the point it running out the back of the carb when the bike is idling.

Plus when i hit the throttle i get one good rev then the next twist of the throttle it falls on its face.

Thanks for the help,
Daniel
 
Are you sure they are not trapped in the carbs? Use a paperclip with a little bend on the end to dig around in there. You might find them at the bottom.
