I was having so much trouble getting my GS1100G to run correctly, I pulled and recleaned the carbs twice with no improvement. Eric suggested I was running too lean and needed to up my main jets from 120 to 127.5. He also suggested that I replace the plastic block on the slide needle with four 3mm washers and replace the intake o-rings. Eric sent me the jets, washers and new o-rings. I did as he suggested and now my bike runs like a banshee! Much more power, better acceleration, no stutter off idle and revs to red line like a rocket. Thanks Eric for your help.

Chuck I thought you were the kind to follow the rules at all costs. He broke them and did it more than once. I think we all just need to accept it and move onCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Nothing wrong with thanking someone who helped you, and he is a helpful person. Chuck just has a chronic muffin deficiency."Men will never be free until Mark learns to do The Twist."

Eric was banned from the forum for being a jerk. I'm glad he was able to help you and all but why did you post this?Originally posted by retcol View PostEd

Because Eric most likely asked him to to try to convince Frank that he is useful & wanted here would be my guess Ed. Ray.Comment

Hey fellows, I didn't know any of this stuff, how could I? I just joined the forum. The simple fact is I like to recognize and thank folks who go out of their way to help me and Eric did help me. Thats it.Comment

I agree, Allie. I never posted my opinion, nor do I think it serves any useful purpose to bring up old news once again.Originally posted by Allie View Post...Aaaaand it's official, the drama has landed.

I would like a muffin though.
