    83 GS550L Carb Rebuild

    OK so I stripped my carbs down for a good soaking. I used the Berrymans carb dip. I believe I have removed everything for dipping. If anyone sees anything I might have missed please let me know. I did learn that the gold color on the throttle springs comes off after dipping I hope this does not cause any problems. I soaked them for 24 hours which seems to be the consensus of the forum. DSCF1009 (2).jpg I need to figure out why I can only upload one picture at a time.

              Do these carbs have a choke mechanism like the BS32/34s?

                  They were removed from the carbs I guess I forgot to put them into that photo.
