    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.

Anyone know where I can find good carb rebuild kits for my 82 gs450t? Thanks in advance.

Get carb O-ring kit and intake boot O-rings.

90% of the time this is all you need. If you need gaskets or pilot plugs, try Z1 Enterprises.
 
Hi,

Yes, just get yourself a bunch of new O-rings and follow the instructions in Mr. Nessism's carb rebuild tutorial. There is also a 450-specific guide on my little website. There's no need to buy expensive (but junky) aftermarket "carb kits". Just clean everything properly and reassemble with new O-rings. If you do need to replace a worn jet, needle, or seal, get OEM parts because they work the best. Check the maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome" for the other things your bike needs.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
+1 to all of the above, and don't forget to clean your carbs thoroughly!

I mean thoroughly as in dip in Berryman's or whatever you can get where you are (I used Yamaha Yamalube carb cleaner over here in Aus) and make sure you get every little passage and orifice clean as a whistle. Do it once and do it properly :)
