    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.

I agree whole heartedly. I knew NOTHING about carbs when I started to get my GS1100E back on the road after a long rest. The tutorials on this site got me all the way through it and the bike runs great.

One tip I could add. If in doubt, replace. I was banging my head against the wall with rough running until I replaced all the main jets and the little rubber plugs near them.
 
thank you

thank you

thank you to all who offered there help and sugestions i got them off and they are nasty the laqure was so strong i just about sick the rubber plug next to the main was so soft it was sticky again thank you feel free to offer more anytime :lol:
 
While you have them off, you might go ahead and put in new o-rings that seal the rubber boots to the head.

Also, don't do like me and remember to hook up the choke and throttle cables before getting the carbs back in, the airbox hooked up, the tank back on , the fuel and vacuum lines hooked up and the battery in, only to grab the throttle and think, "wow, that feels funny." :P

Oh yeah. My 81 GS650G runs like champ now that I have clean carbs!
