    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.

Hello my fellow gs riders. I have a problem(or maybe not) before attempting to clean my carbs.
My bike was running absolutely fine before attempting this besides for having to keep her alive with blips of the throttle from a cold start(broken choke link). After a few min she would idle fine and I wouldnt have to blip it. Well anyways I started out from the bottom with the bowls and noticed theres one rubber cap missing on one of the carbs im guessing pilot jet( in front of or behind the big jet sticking out the bottom). I just want to know if It needs to be there and misplaced it and if so where can I get a replacement
Hopefully from a store like home depot or bennet? Maybe autozone(which I am doubting already) please let me know. And yea all other caps are on.
 
It needs to be there and you won't find them at HD. You can pick them up from Z1 or any number of motorcycle parts retailers. What bike do you have?
 
Thanks alot man. As I said the bike was running fine before. If I did perhaps lose one I hope this fixes the cranky cold starts in the a.m.
 
You live "down under"? :-k

Your bike seems to be stuck to the ceiling. :D



I just LOVE pictures taken with "smart" phones and "smart" tablets. :-\\\
