DynoJet kit install

FLATout?

Guest
I picked up a DynoJet 3103.003 kit to install into the Mikuni BS34 carbs on my 1980 GS1000ET, and I'm immediately having issues with the install of the adjustable slide needles, or rather the removal of the non-adjustable stock needles. What tool do I need to remove the upper spring clip seen in the picture below?

Slide barrel

The height (~2 in) and width (~1 in) of the slide barrel produces restriction that will be hard to overcome. The clip itself has eyelets.
 
Another choice would be the 5 1/2" long nose pliers from Sears.

You might find them at some K-Marts, too, since the two stores have merged. :-k

You might have to take a little bit of the sharp edge off the tips to round them a bit to fit in the eyelets, but the pliers themselves work perfectly.

I was having issues getting the circlips out of the slides on my BS32 carbs with needle nose pliers. I broke down and finally bought the Motion Pro tool that Sci85 linked to. Most aftermarket vendors sell them, I think I bought mine on Amazon. They're commonly called "Honda Master Cylinder Circlip Pliers" or something similar.
 
eil, were these the pliers you mentioned?

Motion Pro pliers

With the 90-degree bend, you think they'll be long enough to reach the snap-ring at the bottom of the slide barrel?
 
The DJ kit for the sixteen valve 1100s is part number 3133.
Wait there was not a 1980 GS1000 ET

A set of cheap needle nose pliers that have had their tips "customized" with a bench top grinder work very well... pick up a few pair at Harbor Freight & keep them around for future projects like master cylinder retaining rings.

Also, take note of the backside of that pointy plastic piece the snap ring is holding when you remove it - there are small projections that fit into the mating slide only "one way".

I found drilling the slide was a bit tougher than I expected... that hole is drilled through at an angle, so don't push the drill straight down when you go to open it up.
