    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

It's Alive!

Finished putting all the parts back on and fired up the 1981 GS1000L for the first time in about 2 years.

It didn't start at first, so I took the airbox off and with some gas spritzing it started. I'm going to raise the floats a tad. I think I may have set them a little too low.

When I bought it, the bike would continue to rev around 4k after letting off the throttle. I tore everything apart from air box to the head and put new rubber everywhere.

Then when putting it all back together and testing everything, I found the problem. The choke cable wasn't letting the choke rod close all the way, by a lot.

Tomorrow I'll adjust the floats, and then I get to sync the carbs while using my new Colortune spark plug that came in the mail today, ala bringer's excellent recommendation.

Thanks gang.
