    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.

Hi anybody come across this before, newly rebuilt gs1000s hard to start and seems to wet no1 plug badly,pilot air screw does not alter rpm when adjusted. any info greatly received as I need to get out on this bike soon..[-o<
 
Has the tip of the pilot screw been broken off inside the carburettor?
 
could the floats be off on adjustment?
also how are the valves?
 
no the air screw is the blunt nosed one on outer side of carb,but why does it not alter rpm when adjusted.. as per manual.

Maybe it's out too far.
Turn them in till it just bottoms, gently, back out 1.5 turns. Start from there.
