    GS750 carb kits query

    The previous owner of my '78 GS750E has a set of 4 carb kits, purported to be for the VM26SS carbs.
    Does anyone have any knowledge of these Rusty Rider CK-RR-0065 kits? Or should I tell him to bin them?

    You don't need any carb kits; keep the jets you have, get the o-rings you need from www.cycleorings.com as Robert has them and can ship to you, and pick up some bowl gaskets from your favorite parts dealer

      He can do anything he wants with them, just politely tell him that you don't want them.

        Here's something a crusty old timer passed along to me a long time ago:

        When you buy aftermarket parts you're not getting a copy, you're getting an approximation of a copy. An outfit that makes a direct copy of an OEM part is more than likely violating a patent so they have to tweak it some to avoid legal problems.

        When you think about it that way, it makes a lot of sense. As mentioned, cycleorings.com can supply you with what you need. Unless you're departing from original such as running pods instead of the stock airbox there's no need to swap out any other parts to do a thorough job.

        These aren't my words, I just arrange them

          Thanks for the replies guys! I actually had no intention of using them, and I already have the o-rings from cycleorings.
          Was curious more than anything.
