    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.

engine dies after downshifting

Hello, I have a 82' GS400L and my problem is this.. the engine turns on fine, but it doesn't idle properly. After i disengage the choke, the engine rpms go slower and slower, and then it eventually dies. Sometimes when the choke is on, and when i rev too fast, the rpms drop and it dies. But the bottom line is this, i can keep the engine running only if i keep the rpms up, any sudden drops in RPM (such as when i downshift with the clutch in, slowing down to a stop) the engine dies. I would also like to note that i have K and N airfilters on stock 117.5 main jets, but it never did this to me before until recently (2 weeks ago). Any ideas? maybe i should wrap a gym sock around the filters or what?
 
no, not recently but i did put a bottle of gasoline additive that clean the carbs, into the gas tank and when i ran, a huge poof of black smoke came out of the exhaust. I have some 125 jets that i mean to put in but i haven't got the time to get to that yet. Is that the problem you think? and no i haven't rebuilt or synced the carbs either.
