    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Hi all,


I recently was cleaning the carbs of my gs850g (1979 model with VM26-ss carbs).

The e-clip style retainer clip that holds the choke actuator on the individual carburetor snapped in half when being removed.

what is the e-ring size on this ?

Does anyone know of a good source for this e-clip ?

Ive been hunting around hardware stores including fastenall but have not found anything.

Thanks

sean
 
PM me your address brother. I can look in my tote. Im about 95% sure theres on in one of the tupperware tubs.
 
McMaster-Carr has metric e-rings.

I think I have a bag containing 99 of these somewhere...
