    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.

I have a '79 GS 550L with only 2,000 miles. Like many stories, this bike sat for over 10 years in a shed. I am a new member here and grateful for you boys and girls. I need three Fuel Pilot screws, the very sharp ones that screw up through the bottom, not the air pilot screws that go in the side of the carbs.
I have the springs and the o-rings. I also need two bowl gaskets. the bike is really nice. I have been through the carbs in careful cleaning and reassembly. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome, Chip!:-D Believe it or not, lots of parts for your bike are still available through dealers (you'll have to order them) and many others are available on Ebay. The folks here are also a good resource and lots of the guys have lots of spare parts.

I'd suggest you go to the Alpha Sports website and look at the schematic for your bike (it's there) and see if you can figure out the part number. If they're available new, I'm sure they'll be overpriced (like everything else) but I think a bike with 2000 miles on it deserves new ones. Good luck; I'm sure you'll find them without much trouble, one way or another!
 
Z1 sells a kit for the GS750 that has the pilot fuel screws. I ordered some for my 550 VM carb rebuild. Unfortunately, they are out of stock at the moment. There are various rebuild kits available, some of which come with the screws you need. Look at ebay or wait on Z1.
