    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.

While cleaning my carbs, I found that the 2 inner carbs do not have this little disc by the choke circuit tube. The outer 2 do have it . Is this bad?
I marked up the photo from the carb cleaning tutorial. Hope that was ok.
Do I need these discs i the inner 2 carbs?

Sorry, I can't help you on what exactly it is. I can tell you that all four carbs on my '80 850g has it, and there was one for each carb supplied with rebuild kits. As for function, no idea, since there doesn't seem to be a fuel port that would need to be seperated.
 
disk info

disk info

the disk are plugs from the factory where they had access to other holes that join together under the disk.such as vent or vacumn ports.
on most other carbs these must be in place to seal the hole from leaking air or fuel.
 
I just got done rebuilding my brother's carbs off his 80 GS750. You NEED those plugs. They are plugs, not discs, probably about 3/8" thick and tapered. I'm not sure why they exist, but they plug up a very large hole that opens into the throat of the carb. When they are in place, there is a square-cut rubber gasket that sits on top of it and the bowl gasket is then placed over top of this.

If you can't find a couple of replacements somewhere (they didn't come with my rebuild kits, replacement plugs for the air screws did) You may have to get a second set of carbs and butcher them for parts - or get a really nice set and use your current set for parts.

Good luck,
Jay
