    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.

Last carb went in to soak tonight. One thing I noticed when drying the cleaned carbs with the air compressor was the little brass balls set into the side of the carbs all had what looked like clear silicone had seeped out during the dip. The 'silicone' looking stuff blew away during drying and has me slightly concerned. Is this to be expected, or does anybody even know what I mean? :confused: I can try and get a picture from this last carb when I take it out tomorrow night if that would help...

I experienced the same thing when I cleaned mine. The bike ran well after that with no leaks.
 
Almost back together....two of the pilot jets were extremely clogged. They are back in the dip for a 2nd 24 stint after a frustrating day trying to find pin/micro drill bits around here. Ended up loosening up the crud that was plugging the tip with the wifes sewing needles (shhh, don't tell her). After they get out of the dip tonite I should be able to blast out the remaining crud with the compressor.

OK, so she purrs like a kitten now and idles perfectly (idle was the problem that started started the whole carb teardown). :dancing:

In hindsight, I think the problems were caused by the clogged pilot jets and one of the intake boot o-rings was leaking. So it seems to work fine on the lower end of the throttle and pulls like a lunatic in the high end of the rpm range, but seems to fall a little flat in the midrange....does this sound like the lean midrange issue that I ignored and glossed over in the carb rebuild pdf?
 
Nope, I'll try that next then. I might have to hire out the vacuum synch as I'm not equipped for that.

Not too many Herring Chokers on the GSR. The only person identified through a member's search is:

Joneman

There must be somebody with a vacuum gauge closer to you than Fredericton, though.
