    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.

So sometime back in August I bought a GS1000 which was a pig to start in anything less than 20 degrees celsius, infact 18 degrees and lower and it simply would not start.

Took me many months but I managed to replace and install a Dyna S ignition system, coils and HT wires, I also refitted all the all hoses and boots on the airbox, resoldered all the electrical connections and fixed up the wiring that the PO made an encredible mess of.

Finally this evening I got everything back together and tried to turn it over. It was 8 degrees celsius, maybe as much as 10 degrees and in a matter of 30 seconds it started, and ran very well. Only because it took me 10 seconds to realize that my choke was open.

This time there was no backfiring, so seems timing also helped it out a bit too. I am encredibly excited that it worked so well after all the work I have put into it.

Just a bit more minor work to it to get it into better shape. Need to replace the exaust pipes sometime--eventually. And to get the new stop-light lense (already on order).

Oh yeah, I also ended up having to fabricate a linkage piece for my carburators. The choke cable hooks into a lever, the lever has a hole on the opposite end which pushes the choke ail, no piece here and I could not find the piece anywhere. I simple used galvanized wire from a hanger and it worked like a charm.

Anyway, tomorrow I am taking it out for a test drive. Couldn't do it tonight without the stop light.
