lol sorry i just dont use proper grammar all the time, maybe i will send it to somebody, ill be looking at the tutorial once my carbs are off and think if i really am capable without screwing things up, if not ill probably take that offer of sending them out.

If carbs are your issue, stick with Steve. He knows those things like he knows the back of his hands. He knows pretty much every part of these old GS's.

It may have been more than a few days since he's adjusted a drive chain, but even us old shaft haters don't hold that against him.

two other things, if one of my carb diaphragms little bit that shows u wear to line it up isnt all the way there, what should i do what if i just put a piece of rubber on the missing spot or should i replace the whole thing i heard its not cheap for them. and also i dont know what the piece is called but the frame for the airfilter what is that called and is there any way i can get one, made a mistake very early on months ago and i tossed that piece, its what u fit the airfilter on the plastic exoskeleton i guess id call it, if its not obtainable im just gonna make my own one

"carb diaphragms little bit that shows u wear to line it up isnt all the way there,"

like how? Is it wrinkled at top, or actually holed? Note that there is a tab to orient them properly in carb body.
years ago, someone told me that Suzuki dealers sold filter element with the plastic cage....try a local dealer.

the tab piece is mising part of it

A patch might work there.....depends . If you decide to wing it, move that diaphragm to either carb spot 1 or 4, for easy access later
