    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...

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 have a 81 Gs650L. THe carbs,front part of the airbox (piece that attaches to the carbs) and the cam chain tensioner out. I was wondering, from right at this point how i would go about timing the bike. What marks i need to line up ect ect. I dont know much about bikes so you need to speak in dummy language. Thanks
 
Re: Timing my 650L

I dont believe the timing on an 81 650L was adjustable. remove the three screws on the 6" round cover over the right end of the crankshaft. Underneath, you will see a plate with two sensors, one mounted on the right side of the crank and the other mounted opposite on the left side. At the 12 oclock position, you will see a hold down screw that holds the base plate in place. If the base plate has a slot for the top screw to pass through then the timing can be adjusted. If the screw holds the plate down going through a round hole, then no adjustment is possible.

Thanks for the reply, ill look into it. I thought my timing was off, i had to take the starter out a few weeks ago. I put it back together and it wont run, it cranks just fine, and the fuel tank petcock it shooting fuel to the carbs. Although on the petcock there are 2 lines going to it, a vacuum and a fuel line. But above the petcock on the tank there is a gold piece with another place for a line, not sure which one goes there, and now my fuel level gauge wont work, i thought i found the plugs for it but i guess its the wrong ones. Any idea on why it wont run now? Ran great before. Carbs seem to be clean inside. Any idea where the wires to the gauge hook up at? Im lost.
