    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...

  • This forum is to be used by folks who sell parts or services for GS series motorcycles regularly, or as a business.

    If you are interested in providing parts and/or service to GSResource members it is expected that you will 1) keep customers informed on the status of their order, 2) you will reply to customer emails and PM's in a timely manner, 3) you provide what is agreed to in a timely manner. If personal circumstances prevent you from doing this, then you are expected to inform the customer before any transaction takes place. Failure to follow these basic business rules will force me to ban your forum account and list you in the Deadbeat forum.

  • 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 Rebuilding

It seems that Chef Bill is too busy keeping his fleet of buggies running around Santa Barbara, so I'm going to offer my services to the members here in need.

A basic carb rebuild includes cleaning, new O-rings, and new bowl gaskets. If extra parts are needed, I have some spares I'll offer at fair prices, but supplies are limited, so you may need to help with sourcing.

$250 + shipping

If the pilot screws and/or jets are all buggered, I'll do my best to save the carb body, but I may hit you up for some extra beer money for the effort.

Thanks for looking :cool:
 
I bought a huge pail of Berrymans "pro" formula carb dip. This stuff is amazing; removing varnish and grunge after about an hour of soaking. Downside, though, it stinks like nothing else I've ever experienced. The fumes penetrate clothing and make them smell until washed. I recently traded a set of KZ VM's to a guy on KZ Rider for a bunch of core sets, including some GS sets, so I've been busy. Good fun
 
post a pic of this magic brew. And a link to where you bought it please.

EDIT,, Googled it. Amazon has a 1 gallon replenisher can for 30 bucks.

I traded a guy on KZ Rider a set of really nice VM26's, fully rebuilt, for a "crate of cores." Eight sets in total, including three GS sets. Each of the crate cores needed select parts, so I've been busy sourcing and rebuilding. I've got six sets done, including BS32's from a 2nd gen 750 and another from a GS550.

If anyone is need of either the 750 or 550 set, hit me up, and maybe we can work something out.

A huge Thank You, Ed, for your help, through a couple of P M's, regarding some CV Carb cleaning and tuning tips. Above and beyond. My GS thanks you as well.
 
Hey Ness, while my GS is down for the gsxr head, do you have the ability to take on my Keihin CRs? Or are you sticking with OEM carbs for now?

I use Castrol Super Clean and it WILL strip paint off as well.
Yes, my VM26's were painted black.
However, it's smell doesn't turn your innards, out LOL.
It can also be used multiple times.

Also, if you get any request from NE FL or parts close to me, I can assist if needed.
I can sync/tune if the bike is brought to me. No one want's to pay for my windshield time :-)
