    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.

My #4 carb, is poping when at idle and when I back off the throttle when riding. Can someone tell me where to start looking to solve this. The carbs were just rebuilt all new O-rings everywhere. When idleing at between 12 and 15 hundred RPM, when I give it throttle it will die. At 2000 RPM it cranks up R's. Next problem, After the engine is warm and I shut it off it cranks over real slow. Why? :-k
 
The popping is either a lean pilot circuit, clogged pilot circuit, bent intake valve or a non-adjusted valve.
The starter turning slow is either bad connections, dirty or bad brushes in the starter.

Thank You Again

Thank You Again

GS1000 1980 . I opened the Air Screws more, the problem solved. The best test ride yet. :) Thank You. I ride my GS500F to work every day. When I opened the throttle on the GS1000 test ride I got the first Idea how much more power it had, can't stop smiling. :D
 
If you think it runs well now, wait until you adjust the screws correctly.

Look up highest idle mixture adjustment.

Thank You, I'll do that. :) I have to give my wife a ride when I brought it home in boxes she never thought it would run again. That was just before last Christmas. Thanks again.
 
So it was a basket case, we definitely need before and after pictures now. Congrats on getting it together and running.

And a bit of advice, don't scare the wife.

And be absolutely sure to let her off before you dump it.
