    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 BOUGHT THE WRONG JETS

WELL I WAS GETTING SOME 115 MAINS FOR 1979 GS750L. I GOT THEM IN BECAUSE I ORDERED THEM. THE THREADS ARE WAY TO SMALL ON THE JETS AND THEY JUST FALL IN THE HOLE ON THE CARBS. I HAVE VM26 CARBS. I BOUGHT SLOT HEAD MIKUNI'S. DO THESE TAKE HEX HEAD OR SOMETHING SPECIAL. WHAT TYPE OF MAIN JETS DO I HAVE TO GET.
 
All my vm26 carbs use round type main jets not hex. But I have hex heads that fit into the tubes. Just make sure you order jets for the vm26 carbs and you should be OK. If they don't fit then you can return them.
 
tarbash: there you go typing in all caps again...
sorry you got the wrong jets.

i believe i told you before that the jets you wanted were called mikuni "big round". but noone listens to me anyways. maybe i should have typed it in caps...

i hear the big hex will also fit...

hae you tried to see if running without main jets at all fixed your lean condiditon?
 
Bert....now that is not true..I listen to you :)

I am in Klamath Falls, Oregon at the moment and will get back to MY problem when I get home in two weeks....if the snow holds off.. :?

Just bought new jets at my dealer, $12.00 for four. Just FYI.

yup, ask for large mikuni rounds and any parts guy worth .02 cents will fix you right up. I know we have a box full of em where I work. they should exchange them for you seeing as they gave ya the wrong ones in the first place.

and I tend to ignore the caps, I know when I used to post from a work computer I did the same thing on accident alot, as those comps always had caps locks on for the EPC. and I also understand that just because you have a bike, it doesnt make you savvy to forum etiquette. Im willing to live with that :)
 
well i went to a motorsports dealership which specializes in motorcycles and stuff today. its a big place around here for atv's, dirtbikes, motorcycles. i guess the guy was not even worth 2 cents. i told him i need large round jets in 115. he only had 117.5 and 112. so i said give me the 117.5. he shows them to me, they were the same thread size as the wrong ones i bought. i told him i need the large round ones. he said they were. but they werent. the guy had no idea what i was talking about. didn't even know what vm carbs were. so now i am still in search of jets.
