    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...

    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.

Hey I have been trying to find this info everywhere! I would like to find the factory/manual settings for both the air mixture screw and the mysterious screw on the bottom of the VM Mikuni Carbs on my 79 GS. I recorded my turns but I didnt know if someone had messed with these carbs previously before me.

PS- This is a carb rebuild project to get my GS up and running. Already have everything apart just wanted to double check these measurements!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Mr. craywm,

It's common practice to start with the fuel screw .75 turns out and the air screw 1.5 turns out. Use the "highest idle method" to adjust from there. To rebuild your VM carbs, you'll find a handy guide here on the mainpage of this website and a copy on my little website. You should also pick up a set of O-rings from Robert Barr @ http://cycleorings.com. You'll find all this, and more, collected on my little website.

Let me share some more GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
