    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.

Have an 82 gs 650.....threw a rod got a (all used parts) new case new pistons cylinder jugs put it all back together got timing marks lined up on cams and crankshaft . Try to start it and it backfired out Of the carberators and also backfires out of the exhaust with white smoke. Doesn't start. I think it's bad rings but not sure. Any ideas????
 
Was it running before it threw a rod? (Of course it was, how else would it throw a rod. How WELL was it running?)

How much of each engine made it to the final product?

How long since it ran?

Hopefully you adjusted the valves and cleaned the carbs.

All the usual 'stuff' when you get a 'new' bike, but in this case, it's just the engine.

Chuck Hahn is not too far from you. Give him a shout, see if he can help.
