    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...

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.

Mikuni BS32ss oring list

Is there a definitive list of oring sizes needed for rebuilding a Mikuni BS32ss from a GS650/GS550? I've looked but haven't been able to find it. My hard parts are all pretty good (except for bodies mentioned in other threads), so I'm trying to buy just the needed orings. I like to buy in bulk from grainger, which turns out to be cheaper than individual items, and then you have left overs.

I normally use jetsrus, but their list of Mikuni orings doesn't mention BS32ss. The service manual also does not have a list in my scan.

Looking at my parts and the various fiches, a starting list is below. Is there a better source? If not, does anyone have the sizes? Else I'll just measure the ID's and estimate the cross section diameter.

Note - I'll update this list as more info comes in.

Item - Qty - Size
Intake manifolds - 4 - 38(?)x2.4
Float bowl drain - 4 - 5.1x1.6
Needle valve seat - 4 - ?x?
air mixture screw - 4 - ?x?
fuel transfer tubes - 8 - ?x?
air vent T's - 4 - ?x?
Choke plunger - 4 - 10x1.5

Did I miss any?

Thanks

Here's the table as I've collected from the various sources. The only remaining gap is the air vent T's which are close to the fuel transfer tubes in size and don't seal any fuel, so precision isn't as important.
Item Qty Size AS568 size
Intake manifolds 4 38x2.4-2.6 -128
Float bowl drain 4 5.1x1.6
Needle valve seat 4 7.1x1.6
air mixture screw 4 2.7x1.13
fuel transfer tubes 8 6x1.8 -010
air vent T's 4 same as fuel transfer?
Choke plunger 4 10x1.5
CV Inlet (?) ? 7.65x1.63 -903
 
Yes, the vent Tee O-rings are the same size as the fuel Tee and transfer tube O-rings.
