    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Carb rebuild in Chicago - recommendations

I am looking for recommendations for getting carbs for 1982 GS650G rebuilt. The bike is a project that I started working on, but I am finding that I don't have the time to learn everything I need to know about doing the work myself unfortunately.

I took the carbs off the bike with the intention of trying to rebuild them myself, got stuck in "paralysis by analysis" mode for a while, and then just got to a point where I don't have time.

Any recommendations appreciated.
 
Just curious if you have looked around much on this forum. There are tutorials with step by step guides to help you through lots of repairs with these GS's. Here's some more useful links.

Welcome to the GSR by the way!

Say, I lived in Joliet for a couple of months while working in Chicago. A Long time ago, but I kinda remember it still.
 
From a Chicago-area native (Hinsdale/LaGrange area), I would be happy to do them for you.

I am the one in the first link that Burque73 sent you.

The other guy will do a good job, too, it's your choice, just click on the links Burque gave you and make your choice. :encouragement:

Thanks for the welcome!

I did check out the tutorials a while back, and even watched quite a few YouTube videos about the process, but never followed through, and now I don't really have the time.

Is it okay that I disassembled them already? One local guy I talked to about a year ago didn't want to mess with them after he found out I already took them apart.

No problem, if you can guarantee they are all there.

Let me know if you are interested, I will send a work sheet to the e-mail address in your profile.

Yes please.

They are all there. I got as far as separating them, and removing the bowls. I kept everything together and covered it up. There may be some screws missing now that I am thinking of it; I recall a few of them being stripped too badly and I had to Dremel them.
