    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.

Our new friend littleroot has a drop dead gorgeous GS1100L. Some of you have seen his pictures. They are posted here in his signature. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=142030

So Bob has these flatslide carbs, which look like a hot set up. But I know absolutely nothing about flatslides. If we were going to check the sync, with my Morgan Carbtune of course, what can we expect? Are there any special considerations we need to know?

What say the GS Guru's?
 
I would guess the only thing to be sure of is which is the reference carb.

I saw his pics on the other post. Great looking shaftie, with racing carbs!!

They should be the same as the VM's, with all carbs balanced equally.
Has the PO got the jetting right for those pods? It can be difficult to vacuum
sync if the pilot mixtures aren't correct with the engine tending to hunt. The pumps can also affect the transition between the pilot and needle circuits.

Good luck and keep us posted.
 
Tom do you have my #? If so give me a call & I'll help you. Just in case, it's 714-356-7845. Ray.
