    Haha, he sure would. Welcome to the site, and welcome back to the world of GS.

    Jetting for altitude

    He has a petcock issue right now as well. Once he gets that replaced, I will have him start to read the plugs. It's running well on prime right now. Once all else is correct, he can begin the fine tuning process. Had to get it to a consistent running state to iron out all of the other...

    I'll be dammed. I think you may have my old bike there. I sold it almost 10 years ago in Bradley, Il. Welcome to the GS world. That is a great bike to start out with. I still have a burgundy one in my garage. You can apply a SMALL amount of heat to the housing around the mixture screw...

    82 GS1100E Mr Turbo Rebuild

    A 140 is the widest I could fit under my '83 750T. Anything bigger would drag on the chain, and likely the swing arm while cornering.

    Jetting for altitude

    For some closure. He dropped a jet size, lowered his needle, and put new stock pilots in. carbs are running great now. Now he is having fuel issues from the tank I think. Sounds like he ran the bowls dry. He's almost there. Thanks for all the info. I haven't had to deal with altitude vs...

    Welp, not a good end to the day.

    Well, you could consider parting it out. Likely make more of your money back out of her. Plenty of people around here could use some parts. Just a thought. Not trying to be a vulture here, but I could be interested in the whole bike if the engine is good...

    Jetting for altitude

    Thanks Carl. This guy has stock jetting, and he seems to be running rich. But, as you know with forum diagnostics, it can be difficult to obtain all facts.

    Jetting for altitude

    He's on a '93 GSXR 750. He said it was running fine before moving. He went from sea level to 3000+ feet. All of the symptoms he has listed indicates very rich. I am only assuming it is due to the altitude near the continental divide.

    Jetting for altitude

    Trying to help a friend out. He has moved to Colorado, and is having huge running issues. I know we have had quite a few peoples here having to rejet for moving to higher elevations. I believe I am correct that a bike will run richer at higher elevations? Anybody have a rough figure on how...

    Welp, not a good end to the day.

    Dam, glad you're ok, and she is relatively ok. It's a shame about the bike though. I doubt they will give you much for her. Not enough to replace what you actually had anyway.

    82 GS1100E Mr Turbo Rebuild

    If you are running a fuel pump, I don't think the angle will be a problem. I am curious. How does this setup work? Is the turbo pulling from the carb? Or blowing through it? I have never seen one that pulls from the carb...

    Best substance to clean tarnish off carb insides

    Acetone... I don't know how chemical laws work in the UK, but acetone will make short work of that. If that's not available, just go with a good carb dip, like Berrymans, or Gunk. And yes, the second from the right looks a little bent on the bottom cut out. Like it was dropped.

    82 GS1100E Mr Turbo Rebuild

    I like the oil cooler cover just the way it is. A little bling is great in the right places. Let it ride for a while, see if it grows on ya. If it doesn't, take it off and paint (or powder coat) it. Bike is looking great.
