    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 alliivee!

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with the carb problems of my GS400/GSX400, I now have a running bike!

The carb boot problem has been solved, with the only side effect being that it set my airbox back about 3/4". This is a problem but I'll deal with it next week. What matters is that it runs. New pilot screw O-rings and another intake boot are coming next week, and that's when I'll tune it and sync the carbs. There's no sense doing that now because the o-rings around the house I managed to find for the pilot screw don't fit right. Anyways, I took a couple videos of it:

It definitely needs some tuning, as when I go WOT it hesitates a little bit, but it runs a lot better than before and it idles excellently. :)


Edit: Also don't worry about the revving, as it was done after the bike had already warmed up. I don't do that on cold engines ;)
