    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

slow warm up.

I've got a 1981 GS1100EX that I restored a couple of years ago and rebuilt the carbs. at that time and set the screws at whatever was the desired spec. in the tutorial available here for CV carbs. My problem is slow warm up time and an engine that dies and won't idle but slowly stalls. If ridden for 8-10 minutes to where the engine is up to full operating temperature it will idle fine but anything less and it won't. Would turning the pilot screws out a 1/4-1/2 turn correct this problem? My original bike that I bought new in 1981 was not cold-blooded like this one and would idle after a minute on the choke. Oh, the jetting and exhaust are both stock.


thanks, Pat
