    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 kit?

Looking for a carb rebuild kit for the 4 mikuni set that came off my 81 gs850. Kinda coming up empty online outside of cheap Chinese amazon stuff. Does anyone know where to source this stuff?
 
Agreed, you don't need no stinkin' kit. All you need is the o-ring set from Nessism. Plus a can of berryman's carb dip or a sonic cleaner.
 
Also, this page is for questions about the forum
scroll down to the technical section, theres a page for carb questions
 
To repeat what's been said already, a "carb kit" is typically not needed. What is needed is new O-rings, and commonly new float bowl gaskets. The other wear part in the system is the float valve. Inspect it closely to make sure the tip isn't indented deeply, and that the spring loaded tip moves smoothly. It's common for the tip to get stuck and not move until you soak it in carb cleaner. If you have worn parts, replacements are available individually, or buy a Keyster carb kit. These kits are best available, but they lack all the various O-rings needed to do a proper full rebuild. So, buy the kits and an O-ring kit. And follow the rebuild tutorial linked in my signature.
