    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.

Mixture screws?

I recently rebuilt my 79' 850's carbs and took note of the turns on the the parts when removing. The bottom screw the mixture screw I suppose that's accessible form the bottom of carb when on bike. I was just wondering the factory settings for these, they were at all set at 6 turns from bottom someone told me that seemed to much, I was just wondering.
 
Walker,

If Earl were around (I don't know where he disappeared to.... :D ), he would tell you that the baseline setting for the fuel pilot screw - which is the one underneath the carbs - is 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 turns out.

I use this on my '78 750, and it works just fine
 
That sounds about right. Seems like that is what the Suzuki shop told me when I put mine back together.
 
Thanks for the info guys, what problems would I notice with the screws out 6 or so turns as they were?
 
since they are fuel mixture screw I would assume there would be a big difference. EPA really frowns on them being messed with. So I did.
