    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Issues while breaking down the GS1100EZ Carbs

Nice work getting the pilot screws out.

BTW, same routine is needed for removing header bolts. Lots of people snap them off due to too much force. PB Blaster, heat, work back and forth...and they will eventually come out. Wish more people would follow the technique instead of learning the hard way.

Good luck

Well unfortunately I learned the hard way on my first carb haha! I'm not a gs carb newbie either.

I rebuilt my 750 carbs last spring, the air screws were the only thing that was easy about those!

I'll ask here. I have a 1982 GS1100EZ with stock exhaust and a Uni foam filter. I'm rebuilding the carburetors.

I bought 4 K&L rebuild kits for the "80-83 GS1100E" from "Z1". The kits come with 2 main jets. a 107.5 and a 115. The stock jets are 110 which is what the manual says is correct.

Question: Which one of the new jets should I use to replace the 110s. The 107.5 or the 115? Or should I try to find some 110s? I'm leaning towards the 115 but I thought I'd seek advice.

Thanks

Reuse the stock jets. And check the rebuild tutorial linked in my signature for info on some things to look out for when rebuilding.
