    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.

so here we go again, the vm26mm carbs i had on my gs 1000e had chewed up air screws and broken fuel screws a broken pilot jet, all can be remedied in time thanks to the advice and knowledge shared by this great forum...in the meantime tho I have captured some 28mm vm's so whats the chances of putting them on and vroom vroom ? what are the major differences going to be? is there a starting point for setting out, ie jets, needle positon, air screws fuel screws is it out one turn and out two turns? I know thats only tick-over (so i guess I am more interested in the other settings)
stock airbox and a 4 into 1 (that didnt make a difference when i put it on, I am not looking to go racing just want a smooth ride, thanks once again for letting me tap into your massive brains.

ps I was right about the starter clutch the thing had kicked back and sheared the bolts, I have read three solutions on here, the uber lever. kill switch for sparkplugs etc in your opinion whats best...obviously timing and valves to be checked first. ta :)
 
If they bolt on (and air box fits ) give it a shot and let us know about vroom vroom. Start with smaller main jet
You are planning to clean them properly ?
 
thank you for your help and interest

thank you for your help and interest

I will let you know how I get on, I am gonna initially use the jets from the 26mm and put the needles in as well, and see what happens it was running really well with them on before, just the tick over being the problem, the 28mm made it bog down at 3.5 to 4000 rpm, and the plugs were sooty,but you have to start somewhere, I was looking in my 850 manual and it says that the sliders on them are 26's. so if I can find a set of them i will just transfer the lot over and try that,
