    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.

Got a bit of a problem. Two of my fuel mixture screws broke at the tip (probably torqued beyond seat) They are from a vm26ss bank on my 79 gs 1000 L. Sudco said they don't carry these pieces of brass, and they are the only place I know to go to for Mikuni carb related parts. Anyone know of a place that carries these? Or have a couple extras they'd be willing to sell? Thanks in advance. Ross

Thanks! I shot them and another place an email. FINGERS CROSSED! I hate how everyone has a different name for these things, but it looks like the proper name is the Pilot Fuel Screw. I know someone out there has some of these they'd like to get rid of! :lol:
 
Are the tips of the screws still stuck in the tiny fuel port?
You should be able to see light through the hole the screw goes into, if not you have problems.
 
I have an L shaped sharp dental tool that I used to gently pop them out. They are free and clear now! The broken screws are almost completely turned in and they are still making some pretty black plugs.
 
As you have found out You need to buy the K&L carb kits to get the mix needle
