    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.

Take it apart and find out why!

Most people on here don't recommend the rebuild kits, I have no experience with them.
 
Hi,

Check out #7 in the "Top 10" list and #13 in the "Top 15" list of your "mega-welcome". :D


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi all

Got a similar problem to eddie50clarkes "but now the petrol tap spews out petol and won't stop,no matter which setting its on" with my '86 GS850.

It's a vacuum tap but petrol comes out regardless of which point the key is turned.
I've changed the diapragm, in the hope that the old one had a hole in but it still leaks with the new one in. Any ideas other than "buy a new tap"? afterall there's nothing to them so it surely can't be too hard to correct??
 
When they go they go, simple as that. I've never been able to fix one yet.
