    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.

Yet another carb question

Just finished dipping #4 carb for my '81 GS750EX. Things have gone without a hitch 'til now. I seem to have forgotten to remove a "plug" when dipping this one. It was melted goo when I retrieved it from the dip. Thing is, it doesn't appear to have a purpose. I can't seem to be able to find it in any part fiches. It doesn't seem to lead to the internals of the carb.

If it's just a plug, there is enough of it left that air doesn't go through.
 
How does the bike run?
I dont know what it is and I'll assume no one else does either since no ones answered but if it runs good, go with it.
 
Actually, I don't know if the bike runs or not. First thing I did when I got the bike was yank the carbs to clean them. I'm on my 8th and final night of dipping (dipping carbs and bowls seperately, as the bowls are really bad). Carbs are not going back on bike until I know that they are thoroughly cleaned. Ordered new pilot jets, main jets, orings, bowl gaskets, and pilot jet plugs today. I just didn't know if the aforementioned part was necessary for proper operation of motorcycle. If nobody knows what it is, I suppose it's useless, just like the leftover screws and bolts everytime I finish working on my car.:D
 
It's cosmetic only. You don't need it. I've done at least 50 CV carbs and have never seen one still on the carbs.
Is your Avator a Clockwork Orange reference?
 
Exactly the answer I wanted to hear! Thank you:clap:
...and yes, it's a Clockwork Orange reference, Alex DeLarge himself. You like?
I've thought about working it into the bike somewhere.
 
PM Kris V and he can do a vinyl sticker to put on your headlight. He can do any vinyl sticker you want to put anywhere.
Shameless plug for my buddy. :D
