    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.

78 GS 750 problems

Hi I bought a 78 gs 750 about 2 months ago got it running and was having a blast on it. Until I found a huge puddle of gas around the bike. Im guessing its the petcock. Do these go out a lot in these bikes? I filled up and drove for awhile thinking that once the bike is running it shouldnt leak. I stopped once and when I went to start it again it didnt seem like all the cylinders were firing. It was back firing every 5 seconds and couldnt go over 45mph. I didnt want to drive it like that but had no choice. Is this because of the petcock or is this something else.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jeff
