    carb syncing

    When you sync carbs are you supposed to have external adjusting screws? My 81 gs850L has no external adjustments. Please dont tell me to use the search feature because I did not see this type of question. Thanks Guys

    On the throttle linkage of each carb there is a lock nut and an adjuster screw. If it is a four cylinder only #3 doesn't have one.

      If you look closely on the engine side of the carbs, between the intake tubes, you will see the adjusters. Kinda hard to see the one between #2 and #3 without pulling the tank, but it's there. 8-[

        As Steve says, don't look at the carbs....look between them.
