    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.

I am rebuilding the stock carbs on my 77 gs750 for the first time and want to do it right. I want to soak the carbs in a cleaner in addition to using a hand cleaner and fine brush for more detailed work. Any recommendations on the best way to do the soak?

Read through the carb rebuild stuff on BassCliff's site. You'll have to dismantle them all the way down and take out all the O-rings. You should get new O-rings from http://www.cycleorings.com/.

Get a jug of carb dip, and dunk the carbs for a full 24 hours. Pull them out, clean them off, spray them down, check for dirt. If they're still dirty, dunk again. Blow out all the little passages with compressed air.
