carb re-assembly boo-boo...

[T-Dog]

..or maybe not.The needle valve seat assembly on my carbs has a little dome shaped screen on the end that goes into the carb body.The new ones I received don't have one,nor do the ones in the photos in the carb clean & repair pictoral.Do I ABSOLUTELY have to have them on there?One of the little guys is wrecked (it rolled off the table to the floor and I stepped on it when I got up to look for it way to go Bullwinkle)leaving me with 3.The bike's a 1982 750 T,stock carbs,identical to the photos in CCRP.Thanks,re-assembly is on hold.....

Screen is just a small filter. You should be fine without it unless you have rust in the gas tank...and if so, you have bigger problems than worrying about a screen.

That's what I found out at the local Suzuki dealer,my tank is being re-conditioned(it was baad) and I plan to run inline fuel filters.Thanks for replying Nessism,re-assembly is back on...

When you get your inline filter, make sure it is designed for a gravity-fed fuel system. Most of the filters you will find in the auto parts stores will restrict fuel flow, as they are designed to be used in pressurized systems. The best place to look is in the lawn mower department.

Filter

If you're lining the tank, I think a fuel filter is 'overkill'...but that's just my opinion.:shock:

Well they're cheap and I'd rather play it safe...
