    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.

Hello, I have an 82 GS 650 E. I took the carbs off to replace the intake boots. Now i am trying to get it started for the 1st time. I had the two wires from the tank not pluged in so it did not turn over but this is now fixed.

I think all hoses are correct per the website & Diag., Also the bike ran before I did anything.

Any sujestions would be helpfull. thanks

You didn't clean the carbs while you had them off? First, make sure you have fuel in the bowls. Choke it, turn it over with the starter, then pull a spark plug and smell it for fuel. If there's no fuel smell, you're going to have to check your petcock. If you've got fuel, check for spark, ground a spark plug on the head to see if you've got a good strong spark. It has to be either fuel or fire stopping it. Make sure your airbox boots are tight so you're not drawing to much air.
 
Hi,

Your bike should turn over even without the tank installed. Are you sure you got all the hoses and wires connected properly? Check my website for a manual and for the hose location article. See the air intake repair article too.


Thank you for your indulgence,
