    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.

Well unfortunately when I was taking apart my carbs I never checked how many turns until the it reaches the max. Is there a way to check or adjust this after I put the carbs back together?
 
Are you referring to the mixture screws, pilot air jets, or the pilot fuel jets? What bike is this for?

If it's the mixture screws then set them to 3 turns out from lightly seated. If it's the fuel jets than I think I saw something like 3/4 of a turn or something. Course if you do a search you'll probably find your answer better.

Edit: Why not put your bike info in your signature block under the User CP area.
 
I never took measurements of any of them :s. I did read 3/4- 1 1/4 for fuel. Not sure about others though. Bike is a 79 gs850

There is only one other - pilot air screw, which should be set roughly twice as far open as the fuel screw.
 
Okay thanks guys, i am waiting on some carb parts, ill let you know how it goes when its back together
 
I have my fuel screw set for 3/4 turn out and the air screw set for 3 turns out. The only mods on my bike is a K & N filter. I've had it on the dyno and tweaked the setting just to play around with the air/fuel ratios some. But the above setting will get you very close.
 
Thanks tas I will give those settings a try when I get my prints and stuff. Hopefully next week. I am also looking at getting the k&n filter
