    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.

i just put new rings and valve seals in a 78 gs1000 that has been siting for about 5 years but i cant get the carbs set right and it has bad blow by out of the oil fill . any ideals? i have the top end off another gs 1000 but i hope that i don't have to us it
 
Excessive blowby is almost always a sign of poor cylinder sealing. Have you been able to run the engine long enough to seat the new rings? Have you checked the compression?
Were the carbs cleaned before you tried to set them?

Did you hone the cylinders?
How many miles on the bike?
What were the measurements?
 
yeah i honed the cylenders. and cleaned the carbs i put new float needle and seat in them. i road the bike about 60 miles.
 
It's hard to know whether the rings haven't seated or there's too much clearance.

Ride it some more, accelerating and decellerating as noted in the other post "breaking it in". That will seat the rings
 
the oil is in the safe zone. ill try to ride it some more but the carbs are out of ajustment i'll have to mess with them and see if i can get them right. thanks for the help i'll let you know how things turn out
 
Did you change the oil? It could be mostly gas after sitting 5 years (dripping past the petcock, into the cylinders and past the rings). Gassy oil will cause blow-by.
 
yeah i put new oil in when i put thee rings in . but i am having carb trouble and they were over flowing so there may be some gas in the oil from that i think i'll change the oil just to be sure thanks. for the ideal Don. i may get this bike running right some day. just found a pin hole in the gas tank so i'll have to fix it or get another tank.
