    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...

Gs250t CV to VM carbs

I was unable to find a forum about this if there is one I would like to know.

I'm looking into changing out the carburetor on my bike since I can't find many parts and it has limited tuning capabilities.

Has anyone ever done this on an old bike? And what do I need to look for when matching a VM to a CV besides being able to mount to engine boot.

I like a challenge and I don't mind tinkering with the carb. I'd just like to have a carb that I can actually get parts for.

There are quite a few sets of used carbs for your bike on eBay. What's wrong with the carbs you have, and what parts do you need?
 
Well, for one I haven't been able to find a rebuild kit for this unit. No air correction kit. No main jets, No pilot jet etc... there are aftearket, but I don't trust those.

Also would love to have a bit more response and the tunability.

Might be easier to buy a bike with those carbs, but in my area old bikes are scarce and prices for em are high.
