    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.

im having trouble trying to get it to start or run. i had it runing once w/ full choke, and one what im assuming is a vac. line hooked to the petcock thing. i need to know how to hook up the "vacuum lines"???? to the petcock..... ther are 3 lines. ive been told it might be clogged pilotjets. but i know i dont have the vac. lines hooked up properly. and i think if i could get them right she would run.. please help if u know anything about it. im getting frustrated trying to find any info on how they should be........ thank you very very very much for any info and i look forward to getting to know everybuddy on the forum...

First of all: don't even try to get it running without the airbox and air filter.
It will never run properly without them.
Install everything first and see how it runs, before you attempt to fine tune the carbs.
 
ok will do!! thank you. just woundering.. why wouldnt it run right? my last attempts over the weekend, i put the box back on, because i wanted to see if it would help it... thank you again...
ELi :P

Somehow all GS's need the restricted airflow. You can do without the airbox and filter and change to pods, but it will require rejetting of the carbs.
But first you want to make sure that the engine is running ok, so you need the airbox and filter to get the right setup.
