    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.

Quick Question.

Do the carb pages work for the newer GS550L with 2 Carbs. I imagine it would be a little different.

If you're just cleaning them you'll be ok. I'd never taken a carb apart, but I had a glance at the carb pages and took the 2 carbs on my 82 400 apart with no problem. I didn't even really refer the the carb pages at all, just took'em apart, cleaned them, and put them back together in reverse order.
 
I just did my 400s carbs tonight and the pictures were almost exactly the same. I used a 4 cylinder oring kit and ended up only having 6 of the 20 or so orings in my carbs. There were only two settings as well. The fuel mixture and the float level.

It was very easy to do aside from spending an hour filing down a screw driver...you need to have a smallish standard screw driver, not one with removable bits.

I just rebuilt my carbs too, without the pictures, but then going back to look at the page, the single 4 carb setup is very similar to the double 2 barrell carbs, except the fact that 2 carbs are 1 rather than single!

Use the pics as a reference, not as a primary source and your be fine!

HTH,
