    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.

GS1150 carb connections???

Qucik question for the group.

I replaced my 1100E carbs with a set I was able to get off an 1150.
I noticed that there a few differences and thought I'd ask some questions here.

The 1150 carbs still have the gas and vacuum connections from the tank into the carbs but it looks like the air hoses that lead out of the carbs and dangled around the battery are no longer needed. Is that accurate?

Additionally, I've replaced the airbox with a set of pods. There is a hose that leads from a large rectangle above the engine which used to connect directly into the front of the airbox. What do I do with that now? Does it just dangle there?

Thanks.

You don't necessarily need the vent tubes that lead from the "T's" between 1-2 and 3-4 carbs. Just point the T's down so dirt and crap don't get in there.

The crank case breather hose is typically terminated with a filter:
