[recycled64]

Just goes to show- you guys have ENTIRELY too much time on your hands!! Funnier'n'hell, tho!!

Don't forget to check the entire wire harness... look for loose coffee grounds.

I'm sure the ionic fluid has shifted. Do a doppler check.

Of course, it could the the ThingaMajiggy that attaches upside up, downside sideways with two wrong headed right handed 15 mm 1/4-20 screwy nuts to the Thingamabob that fell off of the Pet cock when it fell out of the sideways flame thrower attached for the latest bobber mod...........

Now thats funny...

Well since you bike is in austrailia the F on your air pressure gauge means FULL so what ever you do dont fill it more cause remember what I told you about the blowing and up stuff.

I hope you were watching motorcycle porn!!! good stuff.


oh and its not that we have a lot of time on my hands its that our goal is to make everyone in our lives hate us cause we spend no time with them.

to solve this problem...

you gotta do a couple of easy steps, you noobs fail to see the importance of this time after time.
I'm only gonna tell ya'll once more;

1. Rebuild the carbs (do it 3 times, this is not really nessisary, it's more like a way for us to see if yer really serious, can take orders and have the stick-to-it-ness to be a real GS'er type... consider it hazing if that helps)
2. replace all O rings, A rings and oh heck... replace anything rubber, nital, vinyl, and latex and anything vaguely squisy
3. got points? they're soooo '79 - replace with modern-type electronic ign parts)
4. test all charging system... you'll need a multi-meter and test light and some big rubber soled shoes. honestly noob... you prob should do this first cuz if you don't survive this the rest was a waste of time
5. Replace the R and R with a R/R unit.
6. adjust the carb air/fuel mix ... carefully screw in a really small screw until it lightly touchs bottom... then backout anywhere from 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 turns... opinions vary (or which one of us you wanna **** off?)
7. check gas tank for rust and sediment... clean tank by filling full of pennies and throwing in a clothes dryer for a couple of hours
8. petcock.... only 1 out 10 say rebuild... be a rebel ... rebuild
9. adjust valves... WHAT!!? you haven't adjusted the valves yet...can't stress this enuff... must do... you'll need a special tool for this... it kinda looks like a cross section of a tablespoon. Buy at least two cuz you'll wind up throwing one into the nearest river out of shear frustration. (I keep picturing a long line of Japanese mechanics in little jump suits and baseball caps jumping off a bridge. They're committing hari kari after failing to get those valves done in the required time and dishonoring thier ansestors.)
10. Lastly... Theres a common misconception that "there is no stupid question". This is false. Please think about your question before asking... if you think we might it's stupid then don't ask.

now... what was yer question?

Why can't you people see the clear problem here,

It's the Fetzer valves that need adjusting, just remember the 3&1 oil, steel ball bearings and the gauze. And clean the muck off of the side windows, it will help a whole lot.

If you have any questions ask for Fletch.

[SgtRauksauff]

You just have to make sure that when you ARE changine these things, you have the correct tools.

I don't know how many times I've wished for a metric crescent wrench, the SAE one always rounds off the heads...
