    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.

Re: Stuped GS400 question

I'm not absolutely certain for a 400 (I dont have one), but normally choke knob all the way down is off. Pulled out all the way if full choke on.

On my carb, is the choke on when pressed down or up?

On my 77gs550, the choke is on the left side of the carbs and up indicates that it is on. Down is off.
 
I disagree. My 450 has the same carbs and choke on is lever down.

There should be a word stamped into the lever, which either says CHOKE, meaning choke on, or OPEN, meaning choke off, and an arrow indicating which direction the word applies to.

If you ever have the carbs off you can really find out for sure. A carb is choked when the big plate covers the breather intakes. Just look at it.

Down is on, Up is off. That is my final answer :D

Work in progress 8O Today I check the charging circuit with my freinds voltmeter, and hopefully I win these carbs on ebay, since no one can figure out what's wrong with mine. Mechanic included.
 
Choke is on when lever is down. I've got a 78 GS400. I'm sure of it.
