    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

So thanks to the help of this site my gs 550l is running better than it has in the two years i have owned it, and it's actually somewhat reliable now!
Just a couple things left to take care of. It is running well but still has trouble idleing sometimes. I think i need to adjust the fuel/air screws a little better. What is a good procedure for doing so? the screws are currently 3 1/2 turns out. Oh the bike is a 1982 and I have done a thorough carb cleaning and replaced all rubber components.

Search for "highest idle method". I've had trouble getting it to work right, but it's the correct way to do it. 3.5 just off the top of my head sounds pretty rich.

Sync the carbs.

That too. I know some of my current idle problems are that I only bench synced after the tear down I did a couple weeks ago, but they are coming apart again this weekend, so not gonna mess with it now just to have to do it again in a week.
