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.

You mean rejet? Yes, you will need to rejet to run pods. Getting a Dynojet stage 3 kit is the easiest way to get it working reasonably well. If you still have the stock exhaust putting pods on is pretty much pointless. They work much, much better in combination with a performance 4-1 system.

So if I dont have the air box on will it suck too much air and not start? It acts like it isn't trying to fire but I check spark and it is nice and strong.

Hijacking someone elses' thread is not the way. Now I'm doing it too. Just trying to help you out.
Your first post should have been in the GS Owners Forum. Click on the New thread button, type away, introduce yourself and your bike, yada, yada, yada.
Then, start your own treads on any topic you like, in the approriate forum. For instance, if you have a question about carbs, post in the Technical forum Carb/Fuel/Exhaust.
Before you start a new thread on something that's probably been covered before, use the search and do some reading. If you don't find the answer, then ask away. Just do it in the right forum.

Bigt..yes it ran, but it had a bad oil leak from the headgasket. I replaced the headgasket and that was when I was going to do the pods and stuff. Right now the exhaust and air box are off. Just cranks and acts like it is not firing. I have triple checked my timing and they are still dead on

Ok..no change so I will start from the beginning.
1982 gs850l, headgasket was leaking oil when I bought and was unsafe to drive. Replaced the headgasket and the cam tunnel seal, triple checked timing after I put it back together, removed and cleaned the jets in the carbs whileninhad them off. Was going to install air pods but now after reading I am double thinking that. Reinstalled the air box this evening and bike just cranks. When I engage the throttle it cranks faster but just never sounds like it wants to hit. It does not pop or try and backfire. I did notice that the wire plug is for the coils is cracked. I have a 80 750 that I am going to try and steal the plug off it.any other suggestions would be great. The bike ran before this, crappy but it did run.

Cam timing?
