    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...

    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.

hello everyone,

doing the carb clean/rebuild on my 82 GS850G and need to put the project on hold for a week.

is it ok to store the diaphragms/slides in individually numbered ziploc bags? i just don't want them to dry out - they're in great shape, just not going to have time to proceed with disassembly until next weekend.
 
They'll be fine (they can't dry out any more so then engine heat has done)- 85 kmiles on them ?, wow, that's a lot of flexing. Maybe I'll never have to replace mine
 
yep, i bought the bike from the original owner. he did tell me the lower end of the engine was replaced though. it's in overall good condition. just needs some maintenance and some cleaning to be ready for the road in spring.

wisconsin sucks right now! :)
 
Rather than scrunch them up in zip-loc bags, store them upside down in muffin tins.

That will keep them ROUND, not flattened-out, to ensure that they seal easier whenever you get them installed again.

Did you get that recipe from Allie?
 
No, as a matter of fact, I did not. :p

And, I can guarantee that her muffins don't taste ANYTHING like carburetor diaphragms. :D

Yes, I have had some.
