    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.

I am sure when the bike was sold here in the states it wasn't rare. There have been many that probably been dropped, scrapped, bobbered, bent, twisted, burnt or left somewhere to turn into a rusted planter. In this regards, repair it and think that you have one of a kind. It will be, because YOU restored it and you kept that particular style around for people to see. Bob

Good advice about the things to rebuild/check. your mega welcome will be coming along soon from Basscliff. His website is invaluable to a GS wrencher just getting started. Do the things Nessim said and you will be well on your way. They might seem a bit daunting but they are not that hard and most are fairly quick. If you get stuck with anything like he said, the search function will provide an encyclopedia of information and aside from that just post, questions get answered fast on this site. Now lets see some PICS!!.....I forgot to add my 2 cents worth on your problem. It's probably the carbs for sure. Take em out, strip them down, order new o-rings for both the carbs and intake boots (cheap from bwringer here on the site, that's where we all get them), dip the carbs in carb dip, check the tips and floats throw em' back together, synch em up and I bet she'll haul butt.

I think AZR might have got this a bit wrong, to my knowledge it is CYCLERINGS.COM that has all the "O" rings that are required for the carbs and boots. Take my advice and replace the carb to head boots as well. It is well worth it for ease of removing and installing the carbs and to prevent any air leaks.
 
Thanks for clearing up my mistake, I shouldn't type while under the influence I guess. Ton of help here, nothing like winter to get everyone on the keyboard. Bike looks good, strange fairing though.
