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.

alrighty. got the parts ordered and hope to be on the road soon. does anyone know how fast i can expect parts from z1enterprises or cycleorings?
 
Well, I got all the parts today. Thanks goes out to the help at z1enterprises and cycleorings guys. Bummer is that the mixture screws I was recommend are not correct. So it will be another day before it lives.
 
Does anyone know off hand where I can get carbs kits for the gs550l siameas carbs? I need bowl baskets and mixture screws/springs/washes and I figure that's the best way to get all those things.
 
Just about nothing you mentioned is availbe from an OEM supplier or any other.
Best best is ebay. Bide your time and wait for opportunities.
 
Yes, so it would seem, wich sucks. Was just really hoping to have it going soon. my car will be out of commission soon due to repairs being done after an accident and i need alternate transportation.
 
I'm going to order a carb kit for a gs1000 because they look identical in picture firm and see what I see.
 
ok. got my mixture screws. same as 750, 850, 1000 from 80 and later. not im having charging issues. the voltage regualtor and wires going to it get very hot. would this be a bad ragulator or something else?

It is that or a deep dead battery combined with some really dirty connectors in the reg\rect to harness connectors.

It should be too hot to touch. It is a relative thing but heat will sink through the easiest point of conduction.

So yes the wires will get very warm.

How is it running now?

Did you do the tests on the stator and reg ect as noted in the manual?

The battery is brand new so I know its not that. I'll check the connections and I'm gonna do the stator tests in the next few days here. It was running well when I first started but tge battery died quickly and therefore it ran poorly then quit running as the battery died. So I will post up stator test results when I do them. It is normal for the r/r and wires to get rly warm though?
 
If the battery died I assume your stator or regulator are malfunctioning.
The same thing that happens to a car with a faulty alternator.

Do the tests. Oh and a battery being new does not remove it from the test procedures.
 
Well the stator is junk. Not the right ac voltage output. I moved the discussion to electrical tho.
