    Help with a Part Number

    i need help finding a pn for the carbs on my 1981 suzuki gs850glx. specifically, the pn for the plugs that cover the idle mixture screw. sorry but i've looked at the diagram a hundred times and can't for the life of me find the plugs. (it's probably just me but that diagram sucks! ) thanks in advance

    Not only is there not a part# for the plug, there is not a part# for the mixture screw. The factory does not want that screw disturbed from the original settings.

      TeamDar - Thanks for the info...and saving my sanity for at least today. I hadn't thought of it but the reason makes sense.

        The plug is not just useless, it's worse than useless -- why would you want to reinstall it?

          I don't know, maybe just to irritate or confound people.
          On the other hand, I noticed K & L includes a plug in their replacement mixture screw package. Maybe they'll sell me four without the rest of the kit.
