    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 LOST my idle adjusting screw ???

I re-built the carbs last... Oct ? Sept?.
Yesterday, I fired the bike up again, and she purrs like new.

But didn't want to idle. So I tried to adjust the idle... and it's gone !!?? How can this happen !!!??? Ghaahhh !!!

I can not guarantee I ever saw it, but hope I would have noticed it was missing when I cleaned the rack. But that was 6 mos ago.

What are the chances of me finding one of those at the Englishtown Swap meet tomorrow?

FYI- this is for the KZ1000 Police, but the carb rack is almost identical (VM26) to my 79 1000L, so I think it's ok to post here. ?

Anyone have one to sell, if I can't find one?
 
I've got one from VM26 rack, just PM me your address if you want it.
 
Stretch the replacement spring a little so it puts good positive pressure against the knob this time

I lost the knob off my 78 GS1000 sometime this past year. Not the whole adjuster, just the knob. It was idling a lit
tle low, so I reached under to adjust it. I felt and felt, but couldn't find it. I finally looked under there and it was gone. Where? I know not.​
