    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.

Can't get to my main computer for the night and this is a piece in the carb rebuild kit. 1981 GS 850. Kit is for 80- 83. Something different in an 83?

That looks like the plug that is pressed over the enrichment screw. Chuck it, you won't need it.
 
+1. Kinda interesting. I've never seen one that hasn't been drilled out...
 
Better yet, chuck the rebuild kits. Check the Newbie Mistakes thread and carb rebuild tutorials linked in my signature...
 
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Previous OP must have had Pods and made some self engineered parts. Like drilling out the air jets. I wanted to get as close as I could to stock so I bought a rebuild kit from Z-1. The mains were 122.5 and that was the reason I thought there were pods on the bike at one time. I put a new air box on, o rings from Ray, complete tear down dip, rinse, blow out. I have the tutorial just couldn't get to it last night. I just hadn't seen a part that looked like that before. Thanks for the comments!!!
