    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.

Pipes on carbs

Hi all, I have a gs750 based special with the 26mm mikuni carbs. My question is what are the 3 tubes coming from 3 of the 4 carbs? They are blocked off at the moment, but what did they do? And should I connect them to anything? Cheers all
 
2 and 4 are bowl vents, do not block them off. leave them open if you are running individual filters or attach pipes and run over the top of the airbox if you have it fitted. the pipe from #3 carb is the vacuum pipe to the fuel tap.
 
If you block off the vents the fuel bowls will overflow, ask me how i know
 
chased that down on a honda once, dang thing would fill, then i could loosen the drain and soon as the needle would open it wouldn't shut off, I had been through that carb 4 times, but for some reason i over looked the bowl vent, pushed a small screw driver through it and what ya know there was a dirt dobber nest in it.
 
If there was a dirt dobber nest in there, what did you leave in the rest of the internal passages that are not so easy to clean? :-k
