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...
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.
You seem to be going more for keeping it all original so you may not want to put GS250 stuff in.
Yeah I definitely have those fuel ring "net" looking things too. One of mine wasn't looking the greatest when I pulled it out. A little bent but I straightened it up.
I think they help in mixing the fuel and air. Not 100% sure and I could be dead wrong, but that would be my guess.
Thanks for the heads up on the chain and sprockets btw.
Try cross-referencing the 80-81 GS250T. It has the same engine/carbs/and most everything else. That is how I have been able to find a lot of the stuff for mine.
That being said, mine is a little bit more of a hodge podge and less shiny than yours
Makes sense about the net. I am indeed trying to keep this thing stock but its getting difficult when most parts are discontinued
Well last night I installed the boots to the engine with new O rings and hex bolts. Re installed the carburetors and put it all back together. 300 fired right up and the engine liked the mixture screws out 2 turns.
I ended up seeking another type of muffler. The fiberglass packed mufflers flow great and do a good job muffling the high pitch sounds but the lower pitch notes from the engine seem to be unimpeded... It is enough to give me a headache riding on the freeway for any length of time. I found the emgo reverse cone dunstall style mufflers that have metal baffles. The sound is much different. The high notes are muffled and the bass notes only come through at idle. Makes 300 sound like an older Japanese motorcycle (which it is :lol
Here is what it looks like. I haven't taken pictures with them on the bike yet maybe after work today...
Idling has a deep bass tone and a slight "puff puff" sound. Revving in neutral gives a metallic growl. On the road the sound is smooth with the same metallic growl. On the freeway the wind noise over powers the exhaust sound which is exactly what I wanted. I still have to replace the main fuse with an ATO style. I will probably stop after work and pick up a waterproof holder and fuse.
What is the P/N for those new ones? I'm a prime member too
