Hey all. Thought I'd share a quick and easy mod I did on my '82 GS650E yesterday.
I run pods and as we all know the BS series carbs, being CV carbs are finicky, at best, with pods. I know one of the members sells an official version of this, but money being tight and I ever being one to tinker thought I'd give this a try. I also have a 3D printer, so I had nozles laying around.
What I did was take some of these 3D printer nozles:
Put them in my drill, threads facing out and spun them up against a diamond file until they were cut down to just a hair over 4.5mm, slightly tapered, then tapped them into my carb like shown in the image below. I used 0.8mm nozles and they seem to have worked beautifully. Ill be experimenting going both up and down a size to see what my bike really likes and I will report back.

Once I find that goldilocks size ill be tapping that port on my carb so I can thread them in with a little teflon tape on the threads.
Essentially, a poor man's air corrector.
