    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...

    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.

I am trying to synch the carbs of my gs850. I am using a homeade synch tool it seems to work very well. I understand that number three is set and that i set the rest to it. My question is do you set the idle mixture screws first or do you synch them first. If anyone has the process that they used or that the manual calls for I would appreciate it. thanks
 
Carb sync!

Carb sync!

WOW! I've been checking out ways to make my own sync'r too! Can you please let me know how you made yours? And what all is involved? Step by step, if ya can! I'd love to find an easier way of doing it! And a less expensive way too! I'd be all ears to know what you had to do to make yours! Thanks. I have never did what your question is, but will in the near future as soon as I can get one made! Thanks..Ron.....
 
synch tool

synch tool

Its really not that hard. and its cheap, costs under 5 bucks. Instead trying to explain it I will take a picture of it for you. And if anyone could tell me how to set the idle moxtures screws and then the correct process for synching that would be great.
 
Sync!

Sync!

I'll really be looking forward to seeing that! Really! Good luck w/your post. I know you'll get an answer pretty soon! These guys are great!
 
What year is your 850? If its pre-1980 the synch process is a little different (VM carbs) from 1980 on......
 
Idle mixture screws

Idle mixture screws

You should set the idle mixture screws first. Set each one till you reach highest rpm. Lower the main idle screw after each one you set. This is for CV carb which are the right ones if you have an 80.
