    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Going on my 1980 gs1100 16v. Everything else is stock. Do I need bigger carbs, just a rejet, or nothing at all. Any suggestions needed and appreciated. Carbs were adjusted perfectly for the 1074. Perfect idle, nice tan colored plugs and no flat spots.
 
Hi,

I'm not a "go fast" parts expert. But since everything else is stock, airbox, exhaust, etc, then I can't see you needing much in the way of carb adjustments. But use your common sense, check the plugs (plug chops) and adjust accordingly.

Those parts sure do look nice. :)


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
If you are running them with stock pipes and airbox, I would expect mondo low end torque. Maybe a size or two on the main, and needle adjustment, you have adjustable Canadian needles, right?
 
I do have adjustable needles. I'm thinking I'll go up 1 size on the main and raise the needles 1 notch and see how it works. Thanks to all that responded. FWIW, I made no changes to the carbs when I put the 850 top end on my 750 and it runs like a champ.
