    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...

    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.

Cannot find air mixture screw anywhere

Forum Newbie
Im convinced this part just doesnt exist anymore and I'm not going to get to ride this bike anymore. It's been almost a year now since this air mixture screw fell out and I havent been able to get a replacement. I've tried different years that look similar, cheap "universal" screws from amazon, even tried making my own once. Kind on my last attempt before I dump this bike.
any help? 1981 Suzuki GS450 (i think its an S, if that matters)
See the picture of the air mixture screw. This is the screw that you screw in from the outside of the carb and use to adjust the air/fuel mixture.

Sudco and/or Jets R Us are the usual suspects when looking for carb parts, else your local wrecking yard.
 
You might try Z-1. Got four for my GS1100E a couple of years ago. Same model of carb(BS34).
 
If you can get dimensions of a known good one, I'd expect this to be easily replicated on a hobbyist/tabletop-sized lathe?
