    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 just bought some slide carbs for my gs1000 off ebay, when i was stripping it down to clean it i also took the pilot air screws out to check, but found that 2 of them were stuck and would not come out at all, could anyone advise me what to do next please.
 
I had two stick on me once
I used a suitable drill to slightly increase the diameter of the jet so I caould gently tap the square end of a chain saw file into the hole.

Used vise grips to hold the file shaft and gave it a quick snap and they both came out without incident.

Be exceedingly careful
 
my god Liverpool!

do they have chain saw files in UK?

I used the file out of necessity the thing has a tapered squared off tip and is very hard steel.

it's sharp corners drive into the soft brass of the jet making for a great back woods fix

someone may have a nicer more socially acceptable method though
