    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...

GS450L enrichener question

I am just starting a carb cleaning on a GS450L. I was wondering if I need to replace any kind of gasket under the enrichener body on the side with three screws. I have Mr. Barr's o-ring kit for it, but there is no gasket for that part as far as I can tell. Is this a re-useable gasket? Is there even a gasket under there? I would hate to start tearing things apart and find out I need more parts. My wife kind of wants to use this bike this weekend.

There is a gasket (but no o-ring) under the enrichener body, but it will likely come off intact.

You will need to remove the enrichener body if you intend to dip the carbs for a thorough cleaning.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I now have the enrichener body off on the left one (and saved the gasket) and notice the gasket is similar to the the bowl gasket. I have bowl gaskets comming. Does the vacuum port just hold in by friction?

When I cleaned the carbs on my project 450 I reused the gasked behind the enricher body. And yes, the vacuum port was also held in just by friction.
