    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.

Running woes after rebuild

I've just rebuilt the engine on my '79 GS400. A year ago I rebuilt the carbys with new seals and she ran ok but blew a lot of smoke on one cyl which is why I've done the engine rebuild. When I pulled the carbys off I just put a rag in them and sat them to one side. I put the bike all back together, was able to rode it 20 meters on the first try and it then stalled. Now I can't get the bike to run off the choke. I can get it started on choke but it soon after starts to labour and then stall. I screwed in the air mixture screws and let them out 1 1/4 turns as the manual says. Any thoughts?
 
Did you set the points and timing manually? does the bike start easily enough but just won't run when the choke is off?
