    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.

Got a non running 82 gs550L in Nov. Broke down and rebuilt carbs over winter. Started bike the other day. Ran ok then engine would surge to about 4,000 rpm then back off. It did this 4-5 times in a row. Started it yesterday and it did the same thing. What could be causing this problem?
 
Did you replace the intake boot O-rings? Vacuum sync the carbs? Could the throttle cable be binding?
 
You might get lucky and discover a cracked carb boot or a not properly mounted airbox both things causing an air leak that could lead to the surging.
More likely the carbs are not fully cleaned.
Did you install the new o-rings when rebuilding?
 
I think I found the problem, The 2 inner airbox boots were not hooked up all the way. suckin air in through the bottom half. Thanks for the input Nessism. Btw I did put in new o-rings.
