    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.

Colortune and loud pop out of exhaust?

81' GS850G. Most of the plugs are filthy and it's sooooo gassy, trying to dial in. Started with #4 just because (well, #1 the pilot jet is kinda siezed and I don't wanna mess with it much more just yet). Anyways....

A few questions:

1. #4 no adjustments burns perfectly blue...suspiciously perfect (I had it at about 1/4 choke and it was blue, pushed choke in still blue...normal?
2. I do notice a crazy loud exhaust pop at idle that I don't get when my normal plug is in. Is it an electrical thing? Cant really tell which pipe it's coming out of, but it doesn't pop like that normally....guessing it's related to colortune plug vs normal spark plug.

Thanks for any advice,
-MD
 
If you?d like to eventually ride this thing safely, you have no choice but to ?mess with carbs?.... otherwise you?re wasting time. The carbs must be removed and properly cleaned by you or someone else...there are no shortcuts .
 
Carbs have been to church, and #4 was the cleanest of the bunch. Plug on that one in particular looked the best out of the others.
