 80 GS550 carb issueIf anyone remembers I've been fighting a carb issue on my 80 GS550, all while learning how to work on motorcycles. Well last week I noticed that the air pilot screws were stripped totally out. I've tried extractors to no luck. I did finally get 2 out last night, but one of the end ones the threads are so messed up I don't see it coming out. Anyone ever seen a heli coil kit for these or know of a place to get a replacement set besides ebay?

 Sorry, no to the heli-coil. Once the threads are buggered you are into new carb bodies. Those stuck screws are a royal PITA and have caused the junking of more than a few sets of carbs.
 
 Put an ad. on this site, there are bound to be guys with spares kicking around.
 
 Good luck,
