    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.

850g engine head

So I have an 81? 850g and I got a used engine head with valves and cams to put on it. Before when it was running it ran perfect but now with this new used head, I can?t get the bike to idle without giving it gas. Is there a chance that using a head from a different bike would mean I?d have to readjust my carbs?
 
Unless you are INCREDIBLY lucky, there is a good chance that the cable was installed just a bit differently in the holder when you put the carbs back on. The only way I can see that NOT happening is if you removed the airbox, removed the carbs (but left the cables attached) and pulled the carbs to where the airbox used to be, before removing the head. Any other procedure will likely involve removing the cables from the holders on the carbs, and re-installing them will likely get you a slightly different adjustment.

Just turn the idle screw back up a bit and go for a ride.

I didn?t take the cable off the carbs when I did it. I moved them back where the air box was like you said. Also I was using the idle screw on the back of the carbs and that didn?t seem to do the trick. I was turning to the right. Was I supposed to turn to the left?
