Does anyone know where to get a 1980 GS850G float bowl drain plug o-ring? For the life of me I can't find any on this interweb do-hicky.

I can send you one.Originally posted by williampkerr View Post
I've rarely seen these fail unless you lost it.
You can use gasket material or a flat o-ring. Don't over tighten and tear the material.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

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.Comment

Since you have the carbs out, I am guessing that you are trying to clean and rebuild them.
Hopefully you have not wasted your money on "rebuild kits".
All you need is a can of Berryman's (or GUNK brand) carb cleaner dip and the o-ring kit from cycleorings.com.
When you get your o-ring kits, be sure to order the OPTIONAL (costs one penny extra) o-rings for the drain screws, as well as the o-rings for your intake boots and new stainless screws to hold the boots to the engine.
The o-ring kit(s) and stainless hardware, along with the can of 'dip' will cost you less than two "rebuild kits", which do not contain all of the parts that you DO need, and will contain many parts of questionable quality that you DON'T need, hopefully you have not already wasted your money.

Thanks All. I bought this bike and upon cleaning the carbs it was apparent that the previous owner fiddled with the carbs and lost this o-ring. Thanks for the websites fellas. I'll either purchase from there or do what chef1366 said.Comment
