1983 gs650 mikuni dynojet problem

[kilog55]

i used my fishing hemostats and on the last one i had to use a set of pointed nippers cause i lost all the ridges on my hemo's

A trick with the snap rings is get a cheap pair of needle nose pliers and take a dremel and notchs the tips just a little bit to let the snap ring holes lock into the pliers a little bit. That keeps the pliers from sliding off.

The "Trick" is to get the CORRECT snap ring pliers! By the way, it's NOT a trick! It's called getting the right tool for the job! Ray.

yeah but iv had them fly off with the proper tool as well some of us dont have the funds to buy something we may never use again let alone every 5 years or so

I would of thought the same thing kilog55.

Thanks for all the tips, Ill probably do it this weekend if my o-rings get here on time.If anyone thinks of anything else that may be useful, please reply. Thanks again to all

im still waiting on my orings but i have everything ready to go when they get here. i got my 4-1 on today as well which ill have to tweek a bit since they do not make one for an 82 850 i have to fab a mount.

I got my carbs rebuilt and re-jetted. Took awhile but I took my time for once and did it right. I got the o-rings from Mr. Barr ,chem-dip, and jet kit from dynojet. Wasnt really all that hard,an impact screw driver is a must have. I have a few snap ring pliers but none would reach deep enough to get it out of the slide. The long nose pliers ground down at the ends worked like a charm. Anyway, it cranked right up and sounded fine. I didnt get a chance to drive it around yet but it atleast seems pretty close. I just wanted to thank everyone for your help.

[kilog55]

yeah not too hard at all it will surprise you how much different it is and how much more power it has and smooth it comes on. i got mine all done the other day as well and i can get the front to pick up with my big butt on the bike now

[24flinchin]

Haha, I cant wait to ride mine. Are you still able to use the dynojet recommended settings or did you have to play with them some?

[kilog55]

mine is a bit lean from what i can tell but it is still cold out so im not touching it yet.
