    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

interchangeableness?!

Hi All, a new guy here wondering if I can replace a faulty (broken float post) inside carb with a functioning outside carb without too much trouble. I have two sets of carbs for a 1980 GS 750 and hope to make one excellent set that works well. Thanks. Tom
 
Don't know what bike/carbs you have, but each carb is different. If you have two sets, replace the broken carb body with the same from the other set.

BTW - for reference, while sitting on the bike the far left carb is #1 and the far right carb is #4. You will notice differences with each body, such as throttle cable connections, butterfly valve attachment & petcock fuel & vent nipples...

Which one is broken?
 
Yes, you can replace the carb. I suggest you perform a complete rebuild while you are at it. My signature contains a rebuild tutorial. Short cuts are actually long cuts when it comes to rebuilding carbs. Consider yourself warned.;)
