    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 rebuilt/re jetted my carbs,replaced my intake boots and o-rings(installed emgo pods) got them on the bike and the bike ran pretty decent, but once it was fully warm the idle would move around just a bit (100-300rpms) and it didint like it below 1200-1300rpms. So I figured I would synch the carbs, did it last night and got them with in 1/4" or closer to each other on my motionpro tool. she seemed real smooth now at idle, the tach needle never wandered a bit. But now she has a bog off idle, which I never had befored I synched them. If i go back in and re-adjust the carbs a tad richer on the low end thru the pilot fuel screws or side mixture screws, do i have do the whole synch over again? I hope not, hehehehe...

TIA, Vinny
 
Yo Vinny,

Lots of us put our bike year and model in our signature line. That said, the GS line uses tons of different types and sizes of carbs. What 'chu got?
 
sorry bout that, its a 78 gs550 with vm22s carbs. 95 main jets, 1.5 turns out on side mix screws, 2 turns out on fuel screws
 
well someone can come to nc and slap me upside my head, when i put the tank back on, i disconnected one of the coil wires by accident, and it was only running on 2cyls. that took care of the major bog/bad running issue. it idles awseome again now and runs decent, it still has a very slight bog on extremely hard accel of idle (like slamming twist grip wide open) . Is that kinda normal for these engines, or should i still try and richen it a tad more. My plugs already look kinda rich though (sooty/black) or might i be to rich already?

It is possible you are too rich. If it bogs and then pulls through it (kind of "clears it's throat"), you are probably rich. Your plugs definitely sound rich. Lean gives you very sharp throttle response at low throttle openings, but if you are lean at full throttle the bike will not pull hard no matter what you do.
