    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.

If you know GS Carbs. Please help

Take your pick of the four I mention OR...better yet, check the jet needle height position (visual inspection) it should be in the third notch down from the top or up from the bottom. The middle position...

I did not see any mention of his location, but if he is in the US, his '87 carbs won't have adjustable needles, so there is no "third notch down". :o

.
 
Pretty sure anything '80 and newer does not have adjustable needles in the US. At least not stock.
 
Im from the states. Pa to be exact. Who am I kidding. I'm going to tear them apart this winter and replace the o rings. :D Only thing that it can be. I knew I should have replaced them. But, once opening the carbs up and inspecting the bowls, needles and jets. It appeared that someone without a doubt in my mind. Had them cleaned, recently. Assuming, if someone went that far they would have changed the rings while they were at it. Definately not the air filter. One thing I need to question. If adjusting the 2 air mixture screws, synching the carbs. That isn't going to correct the mixture. Synching carbs does not do that. All synching them is going to do is smooth any idle. I don't have an idle problem. Above idling, synching the carbs will not change the air fuel mixture. Therefore, not correcting any rich problem. It's definately not running lean as the idle immediately drops down to proper idle rpm's once I let off the throttle. If it were running lean or I had a vaccuum leak anywhere else. It would not do that. I've addressed everything that I know to address. Other than the internal carb o rings.
