    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.

i removed the carbs and when i started to disassemble them i noticed screws missing. the 2 missing r for carb #3 that hold the diaphram. will that cause the bike not 2 idle? im still gonna clean and rebuild the carbs because im anal about stuff like that. i was telling my friend and his father about this website and everything im reading here they r saying is wrong.
 
The diaphrams are held in place by the cover which is help in place by four screws on CV carbs. You saying the top was missing a couple of screws?

Might help if we knew what bike?
 
What bike are you talking about? I'm guessing it's one fitted with CVs but if you tell the guys here a bit more they'll be able to help more.

As for 'everything im reading here they r saying is wrong' - well there's some folk who try and help but don't quite get it right but mostly the guys who help with the technical questions know there onions. And some of those guys know more about setting up and fixing this range of bikes than anyone else.
 
forgot its a 85 gs 700 e. my so called friend had a gs 450 and his father has a gs 1100 (disassembled in parts) so they think they know more than me because of this. the sad part is im a toyota tech and im more into fuek injection, not carbs. i am not saying i cant do it, its i dont have experince doing carb work, everthing else i can do no problem. oh yeah, yes 2 of the 4 screws r missing. im guessing p.o was in there doing something 2 make the bike seem like it was maintaned well or something.
 
Hi,

Oh ye of little faith. Just follow the carb rebuild series and you'll be wonderful. Don't listen to the naysayers. If you need parts, they can either be ordered online or obtained from someone's garage. Put a post in the "Parts Wanted" section. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
