    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    The float needle spring plunges up and down, but I might just soak it anyway since it can't hurt

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    That sounds like a good idea too, I might try that later since the needle has no rubber on it.

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    I think it's just two screens that are missing, one for each float needle seat. Is the screen independent of the o-ring? At least on the diagram it shows that the screen goes on top of the o-ring, so I don't know if the screen holds it down or if they just happen to be next to eachother.

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    I tried setting the mixture screws as you described, and I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner so I went through a whole can of carb cleaner spraying through everywhere as best as I could. I took out the jets and cleaned them, I did the old toothpaste qtip trick for the float seats, and plunged the...

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    Whoops, my bad, I meant to say that I set them as high as they could go. I also tried to set them to the manual specs and gas was still pouring out of the carbs. I'll look into syncing too, since I was given and old mercury-type syncing tool.

    Multiple (Carburetor?) Problems

    Hi, I have a 1983 GS550L that has given me nothing but trouble. When I got it, I cleaned the carb, put in new spark plugs, new gas, and new float bowl gaskets. However, it still does a few things that I genuinely have no idea how to fix. The first problem is that there's a 50/50 chance that...
