    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.

choke fuel pickup tube

I finally am getting around to finishing up a carb overhaul and replacing one carb because of a broken air screw in one of them. I have the replacement and it looks good , the only thing is that is has a difference in the choke circuit fuel pickup tube. The originals are all open on the end in the fule bowl and this one has a plug with a very small hole. It looks just like the one on page 60 in the carb cleaning series. My question is if I have to take that out so it matches the rest or if it makes any difference at all or I can just leave it as is?
Thanks
 
What year, bike, and carbs?
Having that listed in your signature might be a help in answering your question.
Heck, even throw in your location just for grins.

It's a 1982 GS 850 GL
I will try to add that to my signature

It's not all that critical, only in use while the choke is in use, if the different cylinders have slightly different mixtures at that time it will still start up and warm up just fine. I think they all had the plugged end with the hole in the plug originally, but sometimes the plugs fall out. Not sure about that part.
 
I've seen them with and without the plug. Doesn't seem to effect operation. The tube is just a feed line into the start enrichment circuit. I'd just run with it.
