    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.

Help with 80' GS450 Fueling problem

Hey Guys/Gals!
I was given an 80 GS450 and need help getting it to run correctly. Initially I had a problem where the bike would start then when it was accelerated a little, fuel would start backing up into the airbox and left cylinder untill it died or I shut it down! It's all comming in through the left cylinder and the right seems to be working fine. I have pinched the vacuum tube going back to the petcock and it seems to eliminate the overfueling problem, but now the bike only runs for about 1-2 miles, then it slows down and dies (its not fun pushing it home)! I have cleaned the carbs out thouroghly, and everything seems to be in order, floats, jets, and needles. I really need help cause I need to use this bike to take my licence test! Thank you...
 
You may want to try something other than the performance area for this question.

My guess is that your idea of clean and my idea of clear are not the same or the float level is not set correctly or the float is damaged.
