gs1000 carb problem

[jyjet]

Hi anybody come across this before, newly rebuilt gs1000s hard to start and seems to wet no1 plug badly,pilot air screw does not alter rpm when adjusted. any info greatly received as I need to get out on this bike soon..[-o<

Has the tip of the pilot screw been broken off inside the carburettor?

[longgreensilverado]

could the floats be off on adjustment?
also how are the valves?

[jyjet]

no the air screw is the blunt nosed one on outer side of carb,but why does it not alter rpm when adjusted.. as per manual.

Maybe it's out too far.
Turn them in till it just bottoms, gently, back out 1.5 turns. Start from there.
