    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.

Thanks to all for a wonderful sight and great advisers. Here is my problem:
1. When I fill the gas tank and park the bike, gas will slowly drip from the #2 carb and puddle. It seems to stop after a while but not until it has polluted the airspace in my garage.
2. The second part is that the bike runs and idles great when cooler. When it gets hot, it has a hard time keeping an idle.
3. I have rebuilt the petcock but discovered something interesting tonight as I removed the tank. I never noticed it before, but as I removed the hoses to the petcock to remove the tank, gas was coming from the out-port of petcock even when the dial was set to "on" ore "res". It didn't have to be on "prime" for the gas to come out of the petcock. Granted, it flowed faster in the "prime" mode.
Do you think I should just order a whole new petcock or maybe a combination of things like a petcock and float adjustment?
Thanks to all for your help.
 
Your petcock is junk. Unfortunately, Suzuki recently tripled the price on them so good luck with that.

79 GS 1000 E Petcock question

I just ordered a new petcock from Z1 for a little over $50. The OEM that I priced was in excess of $255.
