    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Frame number is gs550 116665.

Was told this is a 1978 gs550.

It should have vm22ss on it according to the manual.
These look like bs32ss carbs on the bike. It's acting like it has an air leak. Won't rev past 4K without severe hesitation. Sprayed boots with carb cleaner and when spraying #2 I can get full revs on the bike. Don't see any cracks. New o rings. Rubber is still nice and soft.



Any ideas??
 
Screws are clean. Seal well.
Flipped the intake boots so both marked with R were facing up on the right side. Did the same for the left. Carbs will not fit now.

Bike is running past 4K now but still a little hesitant
