    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...

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.

New to all this so take it easy on me. I rebuilt the carbs for the bike, but may have done something wrong. When I spray carb cleaner into them the bike will run for a second and then die. It seems it is not getting fuel. It has new lines. I pulled the rank and tried to manually put fuel down the line but it will not go. If I blow into the fuel line almost no air will pass. The only thing I can come up with is maybe the floats.? The manual I have is copied so where it shows everything about where to measure from and what to do is to dark to read. Any ideas and info would be appreciated.

Also any idea which aftermarket pet cock works well for a 1980 gs1000? I think the one on it is bad.
 
When you say you rebuilt the carbs, what method did you use?
Did you follow the tutorial?
 
Check your bowl gaskets. Some of them will distort and bind the floats, keeping them from moving.
