    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.

Not all carbs getting gas

Just got an 82 gs550L that I will be turning into a cafe racer. Bike fires when carbs are sprayed. Tank is not dirty. Rebuilt the petcock. Nothin. Took the carbs off to clean them and only the 3rd carb had gas in the bowl. I'm in the process of cleaning jets and such. Is there a way to blow out the fuel bar by not separating them? If I shoot air through the gas line it comes out the over flow. Can I block these up and then shoot air? I really don't want to separate these carbs.(will if I have too) Help
 
Please check the Newbie Mistakes thread and carb rebuild tutorial linked in my signature.

This is your opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others...
 
Sounds like a proper carb cleaning is in order.

Welcome to the forums!
 
The fuel inlet seat has a internal filter, clips to the float valve probably loaded with crap if no fuel is getting to only one carb
 
Listen to Nessism and don't try to shortcut this. There are too many cases of people who do and have to redo them to fix their own mistakes.

Just finished the rebuild of my carbs. All new jet plugs, o rings, everything dipped and blown out. Cleaned tank, rebuild petcock and new fuel line. Will re install Saturday. Lets hope for a Christmas miracle. Nessam, Thank you for the carb info. That was a HUGE help!
