    Main jet help...

    83 gs 650

    we recently rebuilt the carbs on my 650... On other carbs ive done there were little brass washers on the main jets... On my 650 however, there was no washers... Try as we might we can not get these damn carbs dialed for nothin... Could these washers missing be the problem?

    Without the washers and the main jets to act as a screw, the emulsion tube is free to float up and down, isn't it?
    That can't be good for tuning.

      I'll send you some brass washers
      The bike won't run for crap without them.
