    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.

82 gs550m katana. parked it one night and found a puddle of fuel under it the next morning. just out of the blue. never leaked before ever! pulled the carbs apart. clean as a virgin inside. took out all the needles and found that three of the four are the same size and shape and one is just slightly larger. the larger one is where it leaks. leaks out of the intake port and out of the overflow. to confirm it was a problem with the needle, i switched it to the neighboring carb and that one started leaking. i just don't understand why all of a sudden out of no where the needle would be not able to seat properly! any ideas? float levels are all the same. would it be bad to raise that float level a bit?
