    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.

hey fellas im new to this site but i recently picked up a 82 suzuki 550l gs. this bike is super clean all chrome and what not is perfect but i couldnt here it run when i went and bought it. i know the carbs are gummed up majorley so i took em apart and started to clean em but on to of the four carbs <mikuni cv> theres a little flat headed sxrew which i think is the secondary jet or accelerator jet wont come out the heads are pretty well stripped out from who ever took them apart prevouisly. any ideas on weather i should look ino getting new carbs or f anyeone has ran into this and figured out a way to get them out. i odnt know if thell have to be removed but everything else is gummed so i figured they problly are to. anyways let kme kmnow what you guys think. i k no the diaprams are in good shape still no holes. but i know i have to clean the slides and needles becuase there gummy and didnt want to move at first.
 
I have a few of those BS 32 carbs, depending on which cylinder position you need.

I think I have #1 and #4, and maybe a #3.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Mr. hmeric7,

A good fitting screwdriver, some PB Blaster or other bolt loosener, maybe some heat, can go a long way toward getting out stubborn mixture screws. They can be drilled out if you are very careful using a left-handed drill bit, but only as a last resort.

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
