While we're at it, what carbs are these? Supposedly this model has the BS34SS but I'm pretty certain this is the BS32SS (notice how the intake side only has 3 holes instead of 5). With that, how many turns is the fuel mixture screw (in red of other picture) supposed to be


IMG20260328173740_preview.jpg

I've cleaned these, checked all the holes, verified there's no tears in the diaphragm, the slide seems to move correctly. I've adjusted the float height to what I _think_ is correct (around 22mm. It was at 17). I'm at a loss here

To recap:

[1] Any ideas on the weird idle? I was running rich (confirmed by checking spark plugs) to begin with and I thought I fixed it but now it's weird
[2] What is the correct fuel mixture screw setting for this carb? (Right now I'm around 2 turns out)
[3] What is the correct float height for this carb? (I think it's around 22mm, which is where I am now)
[4] What is the recommended place to get o-rings now? (From looking in the forum, I saw that cycleorings is no longer operating)

1980 GS1000 G 64,000 Kms...new to me
Noise goes above 1500 RPM
Tilting bike doesn't effect noise in any way, does this eliminate cam end float?
If it was end float, why would it not do it when cold?
If its timing chain, again why not when cold?
Bike runs fine and strong. Just changed oil and filter.
Im about to lift the cam cover, would really appreciate any pointers as to where to look for the source of the noise?
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Many music fans look back and name moments when someone or a group releases something groundbreaking, music so divergent from anything else that's come before it that it revolutionizes everything that comes after. THIS is one of those moments!

The mainstream favorites all stand on their own merits, no need to rehash that. Then there's the odd and eccentric, such as hearing Capt Beefhearts Trout Mask Replica or seeing Devo for the first time. Today the bar has been raised by a duo out of Quebec called Angine de Poitrine with both their music and stage presence!

They're a drummer and guitarist who plays a double neck rig with both a six string and bass guitar in one instrument, fretted in 1/4 steps instead of the typical 1/2 steps known as Microtonal. For the average listener it basically means he's able to play the notes between the standard notes, something better left heard than discussed. Along with that he uses a number of looping pedals which he uses his bare feet to control the knobs and switches.

So take the aforementioned Capt Beefheart and Devo, throw in some Robert Fripp and Les Claypool along with elements of free jazz and you start to get a description of this stuff. Utterly mind blowing! Yes, there is hope that actual humans will win the war against the A.I. machines when it comes to music. If not, these boys will mark humanities last stand.

I know on the 1979-1983 Honda CB750-1100 bikes it is not recommended because the Honda's particular carb. design requires there be somewhat of a restriction in airflow for the carbs to work properly.

I have followed the instructions provided on the forum and have gone it to...
Each time I click on the red Edit Signature and type in the new details and hit enter I receive a notice saying the edit can not be done because of the 150 character limit (the new edit is way under the 150 limit) and refers to a "BB Code Mark-up".

I am under the 150 limit but have no idea what the BB Code Mark-up is. I have done a search but no info on the BB Code Markup came to light. Could someone please help me with advice on how to conform to whatever the BB Code Mark-up is and what I need to do to edit my signature block.

Thank you in advance.

Perhaps deliberately.


Sexually Transmitted DISEASES are carried and transmitted by millions, but today we euphemistically call them "infections" to deflect our guilt and feel better about ourselves.

My wife gave me this story about a small boy who is losing his eye because of someone passing on their DISEASE by kissing the child.

Here is the story link:

https://www.uniladtech.com/news/todd...81003-20260129


Our family is painfully aware of how other peoples sexual habits can be passed on to children.

This has happened to our own child.


How did it affect us?

Children from another family, one four years and one five years older than our child, really liked him and kissed him when he visited their home.
Our son was four years old at the time..
The girls were only 8 and 9 years old.

They....and we....just like the mother in the article.......were unaware of how serious this could become, but those kisses transmitted their genital herpes to him.
He developed warts on his face.....many of them, as they itched and spread when he scratched them.

It has taken two years of treatment to eliminate those warts from his face.....at our own cost.

Where did the girls get the disease?
From their father.

Where did their father get the disease?
From one or more prostitutes

The mother, father and daughters all still live together
The father continues visiting his disease sources.

The girls still have the disease.]]> argonsagas https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/forum/off-topic-forums/the-campfire/1785774-a-sad-story-about-sexually-transmitted-disease https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/forum/off-topic-forums/the-campfire/1785766-r-i-p-dash-crofts Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:43:23 GMT ]]> GS1150Pilot https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/forum/off-topic-forums/the-campfire/1785766-r-i-p-dash-crofts https://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/forum/technical-forums/tires-suspension-brakes/1785754-rear-wheel-swap Fri, 27 Mar 2026 01:32:56 GMT Is it possible to swap a 16 inch L wheel onto a 1980 550 E ?
