Couple Carb Questions- GS850

[Guest]

Please don't get in to big of a hurry. Follow the directions on the por-15 to the letter. Let it dry completely and throughly.
It wasn't really planned this way but, when I por-15'd my tank, it sat for about two weeks before I ever put gas in it.

How does the P-15 hold up? I've heard mixed opinions about it.
I used it on a 63 Nova once, but not in a fuel tank.

The peacock seems to be working fine. I took it out and cleaned it a bit... but I dont see a need to replace it until I know there is a problem.

I have the aftermarket jets in now.. but if it does not run right, I'll swap um out with the originals. I did the intake O-rings as well as the rubber boots connecting to the head.

If they are the ones I'm thinking about, the two rubber lines coming out of your carb are not ment to be connected to anything.

Thanks for the tip Larry... I'll try to not be to hasty.

jayson-

Excited, Im sure..

Did you go with the stock jets or are ya donna do some aftermarket stuff?
What about the petcock, do anything with that?

I dont think I could wait to finish that tank to start it up.

Just curious cause Im about to go through my carbs as soon as I get all the parts, jets and gaskets. Already got the O-ring kit from Mr Bar and also did the intake o-ring.
After removing the carbs I noticed that one of the vacume line werent connected to where ever its supposed to connect. Im thinking there must be a T connector linking two lines to the airbox instead of the one that was connected. Might have been most of my problem cause the carbs sure aint dirty. The jets look pretty mared up though and dang sure cant see the size on 3 outa 4 of em. Who knows, they may not even be the same size, lol..

Keep us posted!!

np. =) POr'n my tank now. On the second stage. So far so good, My duck tap job on the first go didn't hold very well so the cleaning process had to be called off a little early but I think it did the job. =/ Well it better have, cuz I can;t afford another POR-15 set. ha.
