    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.

Working on the above bike for my boss.
Has twin 38mm Mikuni BS carbs.

Will one of one of Mr. Barrs BS series o ring kits for the 32/34mm carbs work for this?
I know I won't need them all but are the o rings the same size?
 
Since nobody has attempted a response, I will toss in my 2 cents. I don't know that this is the right place to be asking, as BS 38 carbs are more Yamaha (650, 750 triple, etc stuff). Pretty good carbs and fairly easy to deal with. I have never seen a question quite like yours, so maybe one of the tuners on a 650 Yamaha forum, or maybe talk to Michael Morse at 650 Central.
 
In looking at the parts fishe it doesn't seem like those carbs share very many parts with the BS CV carbs used by the GS family of bikes. I'd take the carbs apart and see what parts you need. You can always order O-rings from an O-ring store and make your own kit if necessary.
 
I can only tell you that Roberts orings fit my 73 Yamaha TX 750 perfectly. Like the above mentioned, the fuel tubes are the same size as the GS tubes are.
 
Thank you for the replies, I just found a small baggie with some extra 32/34 o rings I had saved. I'll have a chance to test fit some various rings.
