    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1979 GS850 -- carb rebuilding questions

Hey guys,

I have a 1979 GS850 and want to rebuild the carbs. I understand the 1979 model has a different make of carburetors than the Mikuni CVs? The only PDF guides I can find on rebuilding cover the CV type, however.

Is there a guide for the 1979 carbs? And can anyone direct me to a resource where I can purchase a high-quality rebuild kit for the carbs on my bike?

Finally, I rebuilt the carburetors on my previous bike, a 1980 Honda CB900c. Full rebuild. Are these carbs kind of similar?

Thanks for reading!
