    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...

    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.

GS 750T Starving for fuel?

It had idling and other issues. I had a guy that is pretty good on old bikes go thru the carbs with K&L carb kits but used the original jets etc. Now it runs and idles pretty good but at full throttle and high revs (7,000 or so) it will fall flat on it's face. Runs OK and will rev out under normal riding even passing etc. All 4 cylinders will starve out at the same and backing off the throttle will bring it back to normal. If I hold the throttle open it will just surge along until I back off some. I have good flow to the carbs and it didn't do this before the carb job. The only idea I have is that he set the float levels too low and now they won't drop far enough to feed it at full throttle, high revs. Any other ideas or comments?

Hi Mr. mrbill69,

There is a tested, tried and true, proper way to clean, rebuild, and refurbish the carbs on these GS bikes. You will find the procedures on my little website. Aftermarket "carb kits" are not recommended because they do not contain all of the O-rings you need and the metal parts are generally inferior to the stock parts. The carbs need to be completely disassembled and dipped in parts cleaner for up to 24 hours. Get the O-ring kit from http://cycleorings.com. You will also need to ensure there are no leaks in the air intake system or exhaust. If either the intake or exhaust has been modified then re-jetting is required to maintain the proper fuel/air mixture. There are a couple of maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome" which should be addressed so that your bike runs like it should.

Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
