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.

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.

How to remove air box on 82' GS550

I have been having a issue where it will only idle with full choke but it actually revs to like 6000 rpm. if I turn the choke off it stalls. also I can't open throttle or stalls as well.

SO I was thinking of pulling carbs again, go through them on least time, make sure my floats are set right. also that they are synced right.

I wanted to try the shop rag trick over the carb intakes to make sure I don't have a leaking air box.

SO how do I remove the air box?
 
The airbox mounts to the right side with a bolt through the frame as well as through the top under the tank/seat. You'll also want to unscrew the manifold to the metal filter box on top and bottom to separate the two halves pulling the manifold out the carb area once the carbs are removed. Finally, it's easiest to remove or at least slide back the rear fender to pull the filter box out the rear.

Are you sure though the idle adjustment is set correctly and how did you clean the carbs in the first place?
