    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.

Spark plup caps ??

My 1979 ( aprox ) GS 750, is not firing on all cylinders ( similar to me at times !!! ) so.... when I removed one of the spark plug caps, while running, on a cylinder i know was not firing ( cold exhaust ), the cylinder started to fire when I had the cap about 1/8 inch away from the plug. When I re-connected it.... it would not fire ! I tried juggling the wire...while connected... but would still not fire. The only time it works, is when I find that sweet spot 1/8th inch from the top of the plug.
Also.... on the top of the spark plug, there was a small sleeve screwed on to the top of the spark plug. As the old plugs did not have this sleeve, I removed these as well. Since I received this bike after a 10 year storage period from a friend who owned it.... I dont know the origional set up of the plugs (sleeves).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice
 
to be more clear... the spark plug sleeves i removed were the sleeves from the newly purchased plugs... the ones i found on the bike when i got it did not have the sleeves attached
 
What I would do is replace all 4 Get a NGK VB05F for 2&3
XB05f for 1&4 The screw on connectors on the plugs are not used
