    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...

    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.

Pressed aluminum caps removal

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. On my 1982 gs 850g the carbs still have the pressed aluminum caps that go over the pilot screw. It doesn't look like anyone ever took them out. It seems like a silly question but does that mean the screws haven't been touched since the factory? If it hasn't, then would the settings on those screw be a good base to start off with as far as tuning purpose? The bike has 27,000 miles on it. Thanks for your help !!!

The cap im talking about is in "CV Carburetor Rebuild Tutorial" written by mr nessism on page 16.[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]

The stock setting would be a fine starting place, but keep in mind that they were set to meet emissions rules with the engine brand new. They were not set to provide the best running, and your engine is not new any more.
 
I would say check them to see how many turns it takes till they seat LIGHTLY. then when assembling, start out that many turns.

everything being the same, I think they should be the same as factory, but minor changes in exhaust , airbox, and filter may dictate a small deviation from stock...

Incidentally, I use a small drill bit , drill JUST thru the metal then screw a small wood screw in and lever out with pliers.

I've never had a problem getting them out in fact most will spin while drilling...
