    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 82 gs650E, it has the mukini bs32ss carbs. One of the float pin legs broke so I ordered a set of 32mm off of an 82 750 from E-Bay and I was going to use all the internals from my carbs in the 750 bodies. The 750 bodies are spaced wider.
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the spacing on these carbs?
Thanks

Just replace the broken carb on your 650 set with the corresponding carb from the 750 set after changing the jets.
 
The carb spacing is determined by the mounting rails and the transfer tubes for the fuel and vents. As Suzuki_Don says, just take the rack apart, substitute the carb you need, put the rack back together with the proper jets.

Since you are going to have the rack apart, this is a good time to ask yourself "how clean are my carbs? Wouldn't this be a good time to dip them and refresh them with new o-rings?"

Highly recommended to clean them thoroughly, unless you have done it recently. New o-rings are mandatory in the process, they are available from forum member Robert Barr at www.cycleorings.com.

Great, thanks for the responses. I had already bought the o-rings from him. Do the numbers on the flaps have to all match? Or would that be a problem?
 
Sorry. The throttle flaps that are all connected by the throttle rod on the intake of each carb.One set of carbs have 135 stamped on each of the flaps, the others i think are 125.
 
I ended up using the 2 outside carbs and things turned out good.
Thanks
