    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.

I just finished rebuilding the carbs for a 82 GS850 how many turns out should I set the air screws at to start tuning up this bike up. They were 2 1/2 turns out is that the factory setting?
 
That is a good place to start, you will more then likely have to fine tune once you do your synch.

I've learned that once you find the sweet spot for your carbs and all are synched and plugs look good that the next time you take your carbs apart for a cleaning to make a note of how many turns in each screw is so you can put them back that way when reassembling. :)

Good luck, I am about to do another synch (sixth time)...don't ask....but I am waiting for my exhaust gaskets so I can get started.

One more thing...those are probably CV carbs and those are mixture screws you are referring, the air screw on CV carbs is on the intake side or airbox side and those should be seated. The mixture screw is the one on top of the carb that is under the little aluminum cap.

Thanks - Yes it is the mixture screws that I am refering to. I need to get a carb sync tool - that's next but it is running pretty darn good right now. Finally!!!!. Thanks Robert for the carb o - rings and everyone else that helped out. I replaced almost all of the O-rings (tach, cam chain adjuster, carbs, intake boots and O-Rings) The bike only has 23k on it is in great shape. The last task is a new set of tires.
 
Awesome!.....hopefully I will get my bike back together before the snow flies... :)
