    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.

Wrong Carbs!?

So I got my '83 gs1100ed from a friend in chico. he had taken it to a garage there to get the carbs boiled and have them get it running, but they stopped work 'cause compression was mediocre. so, i got the bike and started working on it and just today I put the carbs back on that I had a mechanic rebuild. There are some major differences that make me think that the garage gave my friend the wrong carbs. first of all, there were some bowls that did not fit and a piece of paper that said gpz1000 in the box that the carbs were in. also, every carb has one of those little vacumn draw tubes that open the diaphragm in the petcock, instead of just one on the 2nd (3rd?). There's a knob for choke instead of linkage for a cable, different throttle linkage... i think that's it. SO, if these are carbs from a Kawasaki GPZ, (They are 34s, BTW) can anyone foresee any problems, if I can get the linkages to work?

A few of questions. Are they CV type carbs? Do they have flatslides? Do they have nozzles in the mouth of the carbs? These sound a little like flatslides.
 
I'm not sure what flatslides are, but they look just like the carbs that came off of my '80 gs550e, which are cv. they have the flat, angled disc in the air-box side if that's what flatslides means.
