    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

1978 GS750
I need the stock settings for vm's
main jet#102.5
pilot jet #15
needle in 3rd slot, thick washer above e clip, thinner one below
air screw 1 3/4 turns out I think (starting point)
pilot screw 1 1/4 turns out I think (starting point)
Are these the right settings? I gleaned them out of the search feature

Thanks,
Chris

Those are correct.
The pilot fuel screws (underneath) will vary some. They're sensitive to adjustment so it matters. Fine tuning will usually be needed. On a stock bike, the screws are generally between 3/4 and 1 1/4 turns out. One turn is a good starting point, or 1 1/4 as you mentioned.
Side air screws are set to whatever achieves highest rpm. 1 3/4 out, or close to, is usually the sweet spot.
