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.

    1983 GS1100E - Carb Fine Tuning

    If it pulls even to red line at WOT and the needle setting seems good, adjust the float height a mm or 2 allowing for more fuel in the bowls. It will even transition from off idle and mid range. Will help with the popping as well.
