    carb to cyl gasket review

    So I'm still rebuilding the carbs off of my 81 GS850. In the meantime I took a few pics of the carb to cylinder rubber gasket thingies. they don't look horrible to me but am I wrong?

    Hi,

    Your O-rings look completely flat. They should be replaced. Can you do this with the boots?



    Or are they harder than a rock? Hard boots make it more difficult to get the carbs back on and might leak if they don't seal properly.


    Thank you for your indulgence,

      Turn the boot so the o-ring is on the bottom and shake it. Does the o-ring fall out? If not, replace it.

      Did you get new o-rings for your carbs? You should have. If you didn't, it's not too late to get them. Go to cycleorings.com get the full set of o-rings for the BS series carbs (also known as CV carbs). Also splurge, spend the extra penny, get the bowl drain o-rings. Splurge a little more, get the intake boot o-rings and new stainless screws to hold them all back in place. Overall, I think your bill will be less than $25.

        Boots look to be usable. Any time you remove them from the engine the O rings should be replaced

            Thanks for posting them full-size, Cliff.

            Ya know, not everybody has a 30" monitor like you.

            Ya think you could have re-sized them for us mere mortals, too?
