    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 am trying to tune in my 81 gs450t, starts ans idlea just fine, but when reved the rpms like to hang around 4000 and not come back down to idle. Starting with a good cleaning and setting float hieght. The guide i was following said to set them at 27mm. These are bs38 right? With the carbs at a 45 deg angle, measuring 27mm from the gasket surface to top of floats, The floats hit the bottom of the carb body before compressing the needle. Im not sure where to set my floats? And after i get the floats right, Where do i want to set the air screws ect to continue tuning?
 
What's your set up? Stock airbox, exhaust?

Cant help you with the float height, but the fuel level should be about 2-3mm below the bowl gasket.

Hanging revs indicate a lean condition - your idle screws are probably out. Start with 2 turns out and move out until the revs drop back normally.

Also check you have no air leaks at the inlet rubbers.
