    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 1982 GS 650 GL. I am not sure what to buy for a Carb Synch kit.\\:D/

I just looked on JC Whitney and found a fuel/ air mixture adjusting tool and the carb synchronizer kit. I am not sure what I am going to need to get the carbs synched

The overall problem with the bike is it runs only while the choke is on if I give it gas it stalls out. I have previous posts about what has been done to these carbs (everything) except for synchronizing. and I did not set the pilot screws 1.5 turns back from the all the way in position. ANY suggestions before I drop more money into the neverending fuel problem.

Thanks again for everyones great feedback. I have been progressing with this rebuild in a positive way by your feedback, again I'd like to says thanks everyone.

reading the review at bike bandit it looks like it is just the adapter and not the synchonizer. (just was looking at 10 minutes ago)
 
I just realized that as well, so I am thinking that I will need to go with the kit from JC Witney if that is what I actually need.
 
GSFan,

I just got my carbs synced from a friend of a friend. Unless you are syncing lots of bikes, I'm not sure if it is worth the investment. Its not all that often you sync your carbs (or shouldn't be anyway). But it is up to you. I'm a college student, so I didn't have the extra cash purchase the tool.

Also, nice bike selection ;)
