    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...

    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.

What carbs if any other will fit this bike? Got it with three sets of damaged carbs in a box
Thanks
 
I don't think so. One looked like it was stored on the bottom of the ocean. Another is physically cracked in several places and the third I didn't INspect that closely by the guy that I got it from said he stripped and broke the pilot screws. I just got the bike and I'm trying to get a jump on carbs so I can get it running. But I will sit down with them and see what I can do before I buy anything
 
With three sets you should be able to find most of the parts you need. Once you take inventory you might want to post an ad in the Parts Wanted forum to fill out your set.
 
I'm pretty sure that short of ACTUALLY storing a set at the bottom of the ocean (salt water would be pretty corrosive) these carbs clean up real nice... Also broken pilot screws can be fixed... probably easily.
 
Alright im gonna post up some pics and maybe you guys can help me out a lil cause they don't look useable to me but I'm no expert.
 
ok i came home and looked at them again....one set is so corroded I cannot begin to describe it. the other set has three out of the four carbs cracked. Now i dont know what you would call it where it is cracked but it does not unbolt from the carb, it is part of it. and the third set....again not sure what it is called but when you hold the set a certain way looking down on them there is an adjustment screw for wach one. the two in the middle have the heads broken off. If somebody wants these carbs I will gladly give you all three for a set that is complete and no physical damage. If it needs a rebuild or cleaning thats fine but I dont want to put the work into the ones I have. Also can anybody tell me what carbs I am looking for when trying to get new ones? Is it just 1980 GS 550 or any other years or models.
thanks
