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.

Carb Cleaning Series question

Hi everyone, I have 1981 GS850G. Went through the carb cleaning series, and it was super helpful, which was great. However, when disassembling the carbs, I ended up with 4 small black rubber washers that I cannot recall where they came from in order to put them back for re-assembly. I started it last Friday, and today I plan on cleaning and re-assembly, but my memory is not my friend today in finding out where these go. The carb cleaning series did not reference any small black rubber washers or where they go. Any ideas?? Thanks.
 
what size are they? measure them or post up a pic,with a ruler next to them so we can determine what size they are. that will be a big help working out where they came from
 
I agree with hampshirehog and believe that they go between the float bowl and the carb body. I call them square o-rings.They hold and seal the 4 aluminum plugs up into the bodies when manufactured that are semi press fit but can loosen and leak at times.

Yes! "they go between the float bowl and the carb body" seems right and after jogging my memory and seeing the pic hikermikem attached it all made sense. Wow, you guys are all great. Thanks to you all. Appreciate it. Until next time fellas when I come with another question. :)
