Hey guys, i removed the carbs from my '83 gs1100gl the other day to clean and i noticed that when i pull the throttle assembly the slides don't move. Is this correct? could something be busted? New to carb work but eager to learn. I guess i should say i have not had this bike running, i got it as a project. Thanks!

The slides shouldn't move if the bike is not running. They raise with vacuum. They should, however, move if you push them up with your finger. They should fall slowly back down to their original position while making a sucking sound. DON'T PUT YOUR FINGERS IN THERE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING! -
sweet! thanks man, thought there was something wrong. thanks for the quick reply! Oh and i will not insert ANY appendage into my carb lolComment

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

That's how I check to make sure the slides are working, the diaphragms are seated and verify that the enrichment circuit is sealed. I just use my mouth sealed over the oval opening at the top of the air intake and blow air into it. The slide should rise and you should feel almost no leakage once the slide hits top.Originally posted by chuck hahn View Posthttp://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg
