    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.

or preferrably one carb for a 1980 gs 750. the fuel mixture screw was crossthreaded and stripped after installing a dynojet kit and as far as i can tell theres no way to get it out. so if any one has an extra set or single CV type carb it would be greatly appreciated. or advice on how to get that damn screw out. im in the process of trying to drill it but i dont really see it working seeing how its seated down in there with the spring and all that. thanks
 
Which one do you need ? I have a #4 that I can let go. It had the same problem and I ended up getting another one. Luckily my wife works at a steering control company that has an extensive machine shop. She took it into her work and one of the guys drilled it out with a teeny tiny drill bit on the drill press. It's just sitting in a box in the garage.:)
 
unfortunately i think i need the #1 carb. if your sitting on the bike looking down it would be the left one. but i do have a buddy who works in a machine shop, ill have to let him take a look at it. it just seems like if you tried to drill it out you would ruin the threads and be out of luck but what do i know? its the same way on the number 3 carb but the screw is pretty much where it needs to be so it should be alright
 
I'm sorry, I misread your post. I thought you just had a tip broken off.....:o.
If it's crossthreaded, I suppose you could retap it after you get he screw out. Keep an eye on ebay. Sets of 32mm carbs come up all the time. And they seem to go a little less than other types of carbs.

No problem Mike. It's just in the garage, all lonely without other carbs to play with......:)
