    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.

Ok i've tried my bike again and it is definately fuel leaking out - the bike runs for a while, but then slows down on idle, then cuts out, and fuel leaks from underneath from the overflow.

Someone told me on here its probably the floats are stuck or one of the seals needs replacing.

I have a friend with experience of taking carbs apart etc. and is going to help me, but he says to buy a kit but one which does not include jets. I live in the UK, does anyone know of any companies supplying the sort of kits I need?

Thanks in advance - I have a 1982 GS650GT(z)

I purchased K&L kits for my 1100. They include everything from the needle and seat assembly, to gaskets to even all new jets. The kits you need are p/n 12-2584. Any local dealer that has access to Parts Unlimited accesories can get these kits. The kits are about $23 ea. Sounds like you definately have a bad needle and seat(s).

Thanks for the help. Looking through these sites, none mention the 650GT, there is a 650G, or a 650GX, are these the same carbs?
 
Leaking Carbs

Leaking Carbs

We just pulled out my buddies gs750e, spent some time getting it running, and once we did, gas ran out of the carbs like a sieve. Looks like we are looking for similar kits. When I searched on the other links, nothing returned for the 750. Any ideas where to start looking?
