    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.

Hi guys need some help on this one

Just finished putting my bike gs 550m with pods back together and it runs fast when i put vacuum line on and have no control of idle speed take it off and slows down , what adjustments need to be made so that i have control over this .issue

Cheers
 
yes i think yo are correct , I think i will now that i have got it to this point pay the money to get this on a Dyno tune and find the sweet spot ...

As i cant stop ,mucking around with the bike tomorrow i will try the mixture screws and see my findings .

cheers
 
I think you should give up trying and gift your 550M to me... :)

By disconnecting the vacuum line (I'm assuming you mean the one to the gas tank (EDIT-petcock)) you are creating a big air leak, and it really shouldn't run well at all, however...it's kind of doing the opposite of what one would expect. Normally an air leak ==> lean ==> high idle.

What's going on inside the carbs? As TKent asked, have you gone to larger main jets (possibly MUCH larger) for the pods?

As for continuing to run without the "vacuum" line, how long are you running it without? The bike should eventually run out of fuel (EDIT- the carbs should be fuel starved) if you are not running with the vacuum line attached and in either ON or RES(erve) Are you running the bike on PRIME in this condition?

They do make an inline four Dynojet kit for your bike. I'd get that, follow the easy instructions and come back here with results.
I bet your pilot jet rubber plugs are not installed to run fine with a huge air leak. I'm a Cleveland sport fan so betting is a thing of the past.

Click to expand...

I'm not exactly clear on what line you are connecting and disconnecting. Click this: New Members, CLICK HERE!!

Read everything. Then click the links and read everything. Then click the links in everything you've read and read some more. There are lots of pictures too. This will give you more background information and understanding so that you can ensure all of the hoses and cables are properly connected, and you can explain more precisely your symptoms and what it is we can do to help you. There may be a manual that will be of some help on my little website.


Thank you for your indulgence,
