    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.

Having trouble with my choke slipping on my vhnm carbs on my gs850g.

Also my bike is really cold blooded it is about 40' when I start it and I have accidentally taken out the forbidden screws. I think I put back the way they came out:confused: It takes about 5min to warm seems to run fine. Also someone told me that baking the forbidden screws out a 1/8 turn would help is that right?
 
The 'forbidden' fuel screws should be wound out about 5/8 to 3/4 of a turn from fully (but gently) wound in.
 
tighten (turn) the rubber underneath the knob and the choke will stay put.
 
before you tighten them though, I'd have a close look to see if they are cracked (they often do). I've seen a number of guys have a tight clothes beg hidden on their bike somewhere and clip it on to keep the choke cable up, it's only on there for a very short time and then simply hide it away.

So I should go out fully then screw back in 5/8 a turn?

nope, you "very gently" screw them in until you feel them stop (bottom out), be very gentle so you don't snap off the very fine tip, then you screw them out to the 5/8- 3/4 mentioned earlier. Ummm, just to be clear, the "forbidden screws" you are talking about are the fuel screws..right? and not the air screws?

Right

are you talking about the screws on the side, or the bottom?
