    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.

Does anyone have a schematic or ever done a rebuild thread etc on these carbs so i can compare likeness between gs and gsx carbs to see if theres a difference so i can order o ring kits ? cheers jon
 
If I remember correctly there is only 1 oring in each carb and it is a standard metric size. The seals on each side where the rods go through the body and the float bowl gaskets are all you probably really need. I also used a copper crush washer on the float bowl drain screw. Take note of the different jets sizes on the inboard/outboard sides. I was intimidated at first but these carbs weren't hard to rebuild.
 
The good news is that the siamesed carbs are not really much harder to work on than the regular carbs. One downside is that the drilled passages from the float bowl up are all at weird angles and then plugged so you can't get a wire into them. And I would hate to have to buy a carb diaphragm if you can even get one.
