    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Just rebuilt my BS34SS carbs.i could not get one of the idle mixture screws out without a lot of sweat and damage to it.
Having great difficulty in finding a replacement.The pictures of ones I have seen all appear different from the ones in the carbs.
First the mixture screws had no tamper covers.I am the second owner and the original owner said thats how it came new.
The ones in the bike at 3.5 turns out sit proud at the top,so a cap would not fit anyway.
The originals appear longer than the replacements I have seen.
Does anyone know if there are two types of mixture screw and if so are they interchangable?.Any part numbers would also be great.
 
I know for sure the canadian carbs were not capped and the mixture screw was not deep in the hole. Do you need another carb body or a mixture screw?

I need a mixture screw at this stage.I am going to try and retap the thread in the body .If that is unsuccessful,then i will need a carb body as well.
 
Be sure to tell us which carb it is you need if you end up needing one. I think I have extra mixture screws , I doubt youll have much luck tapping the hole out
