    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.

Wrong style pilot jets?

After pulling my carbs apart, vm26ss carbs on my 79 gs1000l, I noticed that the pilot jets look nothing like the pilot jets on any website when ordering. Sudco shows the pilot jets I have fitting rs/hs series carbs, not vm. The pilot jets I have match the jets in the VM Rebuild guide on BikeCliffs site. Jets R Us shows different style pilot jets for 77-79 gs1000 bikes as well. Does anyone know what the pilot jets should look like? This is the link showing the "proper" style of pilot jet, or is this wrong? I have no need to replace them, just wondering if they are the incorrect style if possible.

EDIT: jets r us shows the pilot jets I have now as vm28/486 style jets, but these jets do match the jets shown in the VM Rebuild guide.

That is what I have, and I did notice in my wiring some UK only wiring colors. What is the best way to determine if these carbs are VM28 instead of VM26? Could this be a UK bike in the US?
 
Will do, the po may have swapped out a set from a uk bike, or aquired a set from one, anything is possible over 33 years I suppose. Thank you much.
