    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...

stephen

Forum Newbie
Hi i am rebuilding my gs1000g 1980 carbs got new rebuild kits for them but they are confusing me a bit the the needle and seat fit good they are a bit different, my question is the seat does not have the grove on it for the clip that holds the needle in like the original did i can get the clip on but it seems without the grove it wont hold. Was the clip eliminated for some reason will the float actually keep the needle in place i really dont want to put them altogether and have things go wrong any help greatly appreciated. ive included a screen shot of the needle and seat with no grove,

Be warned that lots of carb rebuild kits are poor quality ….yours look odd to me. Hopefully someone will have an answer. Here’s a set that I got awhile back.

Is there a problem with the old seats that keeps you from reusing them? I've heard of the needles wearing a groove in the tip, but I haven't heard of the seats going bad. Some kind of corrosion maybe, or some uncleanable schmoo?

The floats should keep the needle in there.
