    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.

GS650 Carb differences? (No pilot hole)

A little over a month ago I bought a cute 1981 GS650 and its in great shape but ran like s***... so big deal right? just clean the carbs I thought..:disturbed:

To make a long story short I purchased a parted out #4 carb body, from ebay, because the #4 on my 650 had a crack and was leaking.. I got the "new" carb body today and everything is practically identical beside one (important?) thing... theres no pilot jet hole in the "new" carb body.
Needless to say I'm confused why theres no pilot jet hole. Does anybody have any input on this difference? (top one is "new" carb body)

My spare carbs only have pilot circuit holes in upper carb throats... maybe your old carb body had drilling error or someone got creative!
 
yeah maybe, or perhaps my "original" carbs are off another bike. either way I'm gonna throw the new one into the mix and see how it runs lol I can't see it working that well with the others(hope I'm wrong) but if it runs bad or I can't sync it I may have to get creative.. or go back to the original leaky carb body and try to fix that somehow:dread:
