    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 have a 78 GS1000 with original carbs - that are a constant problem.

Are there any suggestions on replacements to stock manifolds?
 
OK - I'm bumping my question back to the top.

Has NO ONE had any good results replacing their carbs ?
I know 31mm smoothbores used to be the way to go.
Kinda hard to find now
thank you.
 
If your carbs are a constant problem, you probably have a dirty fuel tank. These stock carbs have very few moving parts. The only problems they can really have is the circuits being plugged by crud. Replacing the carbs will simply give you the same problems with different carbs?

I have 79GS850 same slide type carbs. They are NO problem as long as they have clean fuel. If you are looking for better preformance then posibly change carbs To later BS style, or 29mm smoth bores if you can find a set. Clean your tank and put in a fuel filter and clean carbs again and you will probably fine your problem is solved
