    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.

My Suzi won't start

The number one arrow is right at gasket and 2 arrow up add 20 links and 3 arrow. I think I got a lot of gas in oil at this point will drain and try next step. When adding starting fluid to spark plugs from above I rechecked spark and now #3 is almost white. I cleaned all the elect. connects so I'm think stronger then before. It's not yellow but white with a little blue. Any way was going to do compression test. Where is the cheapest place to get the tool and what should spec.it be. I'm glad the other bike is up in running.

Let me give you some more info. I got the bike from I guy who had several parts bike sitting around. So I got 1980 GS750L $200. I have been getting the missing parts from Bikebandit Ebay and a local dealer. The bike had CV carbs TSCC motor 16V. So far changed oil, oil filter, plugs, fixed all the rigged wiring in it. The ignitor, rectifer and coils I have tested. I had to buy a starter and changed the plugs. Once I found I had gas from the tank. I had issues with the carb. I cleaned it and then hadn't dipped it so did it again. Then the floats where off so after 4 times got them right. Now checked timing found it to be wrong reset and now back changing oil. Is compression the best way to see if a valve burnt? I dont think it broke. Don't here grinding or banging before timing fix. Oh one more thing I am trying to get it to start without the airbox on. I am still trying to find the under set air filter housing box that holds the filter. It was missing when got bike. So my air box is hollow any ways. I figured it wouldn't run good but enough to crank. Thanx, JT
