    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.

Pods with 120 mains. Once cranked it revs straight to 7k rpm, regardless of where pilot air/fuel screw, idle, or throttle is. Wont go any lower. Any suggestions? 82 gs850
 
You might want to check the newbie mistakes thread linked in my signature to see if anything rings a bell.
 
Does it idle properly before cranking?

Sounds like a stuck slide and/or throttle cable.
 
You have stock exhaust or an aftermarket pipe to go with those pods?

120 mains for pods will be a bit low, but you should be able to get it to idle before you ever need the main jets.


Have you checked the intake boots and their o-rings? They are on Nessism's "newbie list".

If you have recently gone through your carbs (yet another "newbie mistake if you haven't), set your mixture screws to three full turns out from lightly seated. That will give you a decent mixture for starting your tuning. Throttle should be at idle, the idle speed screw should be set to allow proper idle speed, 1050, when fully-warmed up.

The screw on the intake boot clamp was holding one of the valves open. New pilot plugs, running at about 90% now. Cylinder 1 seems to be still running a little rich though. Exaust pops when revving fast but for now its a good start.

The P.O. tried to compensate the awful job he did by only plugging two of the jets. And then raising the needles on every other carb. Made no sense at all.
