restoring a 1980 gs 750L. is there a reason all four carbs have a rubber plug in the small jet in bowl. what purpose does this serve? wouldn't that block the flow?

It block the flow of gas directly from the bowl. The pilot circuit draws fuel differently in CVs than in VMs..thus if the plugs are not there, they will flood the cylinders with raw gas and the bike wont run. They must be snuggly held in by the bowl too, so if they are hard and theres a circle imprinted in the flat tops I would replace them.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -

I should have said that they don't drink gas directly from the bowls from the bottom like VMs do....just to clarify a bit.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
