    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.

Hi,
I am soon cleaning the carbs in a ultrasonic cleaner. Where can i get gasket kit for it? O-rings? Something else i need to get as well? And can i use gaskets from a 550? Do they use same carbs? There is alot for 550 on eBay but not the 500 as it was a sleeved down "insurance" modell and not sold as nearly as many of.
Thanx.
 
I believe the carbs are the same, save possible jetting changes
Order some O rings and gaskets for a 550, and clean your current parts per the tutorial.
You have been to the BassCliff site?

Thank you all for advice, ordered gaskets and o-rings. Will buy a ultrasonic cleaner when the parts arrive and give it a good clean.
