    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.

Just completed a rebuild of a 1982 GS1100GL. Turned it into a bobber. Once put back together the bike is idling at 3000 rpms. The idle screw is backed out all the way. Any ideas?
 
stuck throttle cable ? leaving it partially open, it is returning back all the way ?
 
There is slack in the throttle cable and the returns are coming to full stop when throttle is not applied. Sorry just had to add that in there since I was tinkering with the cable
 
I say we synced them we went by the bench sync on the bass cliff site. Could we turn in the idle screws on each carb to get it to idle down.

Ok I took the carbs off to bench sync them, got them all opening the same and then backed the idle set screw back to where it is only touching the throttle. Now it won't even start. So back to square of getting it started.
 
we put four into two exhaust back on it stock exhaust and then running pods. We rejetted the carbs for the pods.
 
The jetting has very little to do with the idle (to begin with) and virtually nothing to do with starting. Note: this refers to the main jets; you should almost never need to change the pilot jet.
When you did the last bench synch, how much gap did you leave between the slide and the body of the carb? I normally use a paperclip, which is too much but will allow it to start. If you leave none, or almost none, it will not start.
 
I put a paper clip to set them all the same then shut em down by backing the throttle valve adjustment screw back down till the butterflies touched the throat. I am guessing I should open them back a paper clip wide?
 
Pilot circuit meaning? We put new jets in for Mains and then a brass air restriction in the front air intake small port as stated by the instructions.
