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.
Measure every single O-ring on your carb. Or, better yet, measure the mating parts. I'll help you select O-rings as needed. I may even have, at least some, of the O-rings you need. That kit may work for some parts, but it won't fill all needs.
It may seem like a daunting task, but in the grand scheme, it's just a small project. Your 45 year old bike will love you in the end.
BTW, my first exposure to the GS world came at the hands of the high school friend that got me into motorcycling in 1978. He had a GS400, like yours I presume, and I was so impressed. I wound up buying a CB360 Honda, and it was a POS in comparison. The GS was so smooth. Almost no vibration. At least compared to the 360. Such a nice bike. Roller bearing crank too. A true GS. You are fortunate to have such a steed.
