    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.

for months my Gs1085s has been very ill.
this morning start it up with petrol cap on it pops bangs run like poo.
so i removed petrol cap when engine was running after a few secs the engine runs sweatly
we have full power again.
so next thing i did put a spare petrol hose on pingel tap ran it straight into a jug the flow differance is I say a 3rd more,with cap removed.
new fuel cap about to be orded,just wondering if you can order a extra tanker breather might help.
 
You can take your current filler cap to bits and give it a clean. If it's original it's 100 times better quality than the after market junk you'll end up getting (unless you're very lucky - a proper one is ?75 from Robinsons and a copy is ?15).

i have stripped my orignal cap its all like varnished up and the seal is very cracked ,so
where does the cap get it air vent from where you put key in.
mind you cap is 31yrs old now.
 
soak it overnight in parrafin or similar. easy enough to make a new seal, far cheaper than buying a new cap
