    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.

Another stupid carb question...

Ok, just rebuilt my CV carbs on my '80 GS750L (mostly, still having issues with idle air screw on 2 & 3, they are soaking in PB now) and had a quick question on the pilot jet (under the plug) I've read a lot about these and am kinda confused...do these get screwed all the way in or do they get set a certain number of turns out? I don't have a manual or anything to tell me, so I'm just going by reading a lot on here. Thanks.
 
OOOO not tight!!! as in tight, just snug them up.

make sure the rubber plugs fit snugly, you don't want any kind of leakage around them, it will screw up everything.
 
ok, thanks. I'm going by the local suz dealer today to see if they can order the plugs as the ones that i have are old and soft and don't fit well anymore. I didn't figure there was any adjustment to them (besides size) but wanted to be sure. I also have a set of Stainless screws ordered, so I have to pull the screws out to change them anyway, giving me a good time to change the plugs.

I suppose "tight" to one, is not the "same tight" to others. Yeah, you're not throwing lug nuts on a Terrex earth mover...:)
