    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.

ok, ive just set my carbs up and synced all them, the bike is a 1984 gs750es if you are wondering. well my problem is that once my bike is warmed up it seems to have a hard time comming down to idle.like ill be driving down the road an when i pull my clutch in , it takes a while to stop reving an come down to idle. ive read that this can be caused by a lean air mixture, however when i pull my plugs they are black and have like a powder residue on them. and ive read that this is caused from a ritch mixture. so which one is it? lean or rich, and also what do i have to do to fix this problem?thanks guys

You're too rich. Is the jetting stock? Float levels may be set too high.
 
its runnin 122.5 main,i have no idea what stock, ive herd 117, but i have no idea what is stock, an float levels are where they should be
 
also, i kinda figured that i was rich, im like almost 5 turns out on the air mixture screw. but thas where it seemed to like it best, but once it warms up its a diff story
 
5 turns out on the mixture screws is a bunch. You're pretty much wide open on the jet at that point. The screws should be adjusted with the engine completely warmed up. Those are the very screws that effect idle. 117.5 is stock for the main.
 
so is there any trick that i could use to help get the proper mixture??
