    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.

Idle set-screw

I'm having trouble with my land-line [I have dial-up], and so have a hard time reaching this site, but....

I have an '82 GS1100G and an '81 GS850G. Idle is out of whack on both. There's supposed to be an "idle set-screw" somewhere, but I'm not sure where. There's something I can feel, but it may have to do with the cam chain and I'm told I shouldn't ever fool with that... I have the Clymaer and the other commercial manual, no mention of an idle set screw in either, that I can find. Where is it, please, and how do I (a) find it and (b) adjust it. [The 1100 idles 'way too fast, the 850 won't idle at all....

Thanks.

Bill
 
Bill,

Give me a call (do you still have my number?).
I can be up there within an hour to help you.

It's between the two middle carbs, behind where the cable goes into them. A metal wheel about 3/4" dia.

Stick your hand in there & feel around, you'll find it.
