    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.

Looking for a good source for main jet washer and pilot screw caps

I picked up a newbie cafe racer built GS550E 1980. It did not even have pod filters on it but seems to run great and be mechanically sound. While tearing down the carbs I noticed that number two is missing the main jet washer. Also, I need to get the pilot screw caps. Can anyone tell me of a good source for these items?

Thanks.
 
You don't need the pilot screw caps. The metal plug was added at the factory to discourage tampering for emissions reasons, but they are not necessary at this point in the bikes life. Regarding the washer under the main jet, I'm sure some of the members here can send you one. I might even have a couple myself. Send me a PM if you need me to look.
 
Thanks. I have to dig into the carbs to really see what he did/didn't do to them. I just have never seen the washers listed anywhere and there is a lot of gas residue in that carburetor. I will write down and photograph everything just in case.
