    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.

Hi peeps , is there a modern set of carbs that will fit ? i'm looking for a cheaper option than having the old bs 34s rebuilt. Standard except for 4 into 1. Many thanks.
 
Could do, but where can you get all the bits? Any special tools needed ?
 
Perhaps the carbs don't need rebuilding. The problem is poor tickover, slowing down on a closed throttle makes it run very lumpy at low revs but opening throttle very slightly it runs smoothly, turning the mixture screws has no effect on the bad running at low revs. Running slightly rich perhaps ? Apart from poor slow speed running , it runs fine, with no other problems. Any ideas what the problem might be folks ? Thanks Pete.

All you should need is an O-ring set from here.

As for special tools, the only special tools needed are some good fitting screw drivers to remove the jets. If you look at the tutorial it will explain what is needed. Beyond that, you may need a propane torch and some PB Blaster. If the idle mixture screw is still covered then you'll need to drill and extract the plug that covers it. If you have questions then just ask and you'll get answers. Many on here have rebuilt carbs. Some many times. Some here even offer a rebuild service for a reasonable price. Just ask if you need it.
