    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.

82 GS1100G - carb slides stuck

Forum Newbie
Hello everyone, I'm new here and recently bought a non running 82 GS1100G. I have taken the carbs out and separated them. 3 out of 4 slides are stuck solid and won't budge at all. So far I have tried following-

1- Sprayed PB blaster and used propane torch to heat the carb body.
2- Pinesol and water soak in ultrasonic cleaner at 50 Degrees Celcius.

I had no luck with both of them. Motorcycle had rat infestation and there is lots of aluminum corrosion on the carbs specifically on the intake side. Is there any point in trying to rebuild these or should I find replacements?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
