    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.

81 650e BS32 main jet screw up

I rebuilt the Carbs for my project 81 650e and installed them. When I rebuilt them I noticed they had 110 main jets. Now that I have it running it smells very rich. And it must be because if I use the choke it will not start but first start when cold without choke it starts fine. Now this is the confusing part. The chart on BikeCliff site doesn't show a list for 81 650e only for 82 and that is 97.5 main jet. and a 110 main jet for the 650G&L. with all other jetting being much the same.
I don't know if someone in the past changed the main jets or used 650g Carbs. So do you guys think I should just change main jets to 97.5 Or is there any thing else I should check?
 
I’d surely check the wet fuel level.

I didn’t think the mains would impact the idle circuits
(But I’m Still learning).
 
I did check the wet fuel level when I had them off. I do have another question Has anyone had luck changing the main jets without removing the Carbs? they are extremely difficult to remove and almost as bad to replace.
