    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.

Carb install 1983 GS1100

Is there a preferred method to get it together with that god-awful lack of clearance everywhere? I know about pliable, boots, warming, etc. It was a bear to get them off. Can the engine be tilted slightly forward or anything? 1/4 inch would certainly help......
 
I've heard you can shove the rubbers back into the airbox a ways and then tender them back out after the carbs are installed? Anybody try that?
 
I just fitted carbs to a 82 GSX750ET/GSX750EX, I found it pretty easy by fitting the carbs to the airbox rubbers, I left the airbox loose and pulled the carbs backwards slightly with the airbox, then just slipped in each inner intake rubber and then the outer rubbers. It was all done inside an hour, spent a day cursing trying other methods. The intake boots are angled fitting them last allows you to put the thin part in and turns the boots around.
