    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.

They are usually available in the carb rebuild kits
Motorcyclecarbs.com may have some ??? It's worth a call
 
Nobody sells a rebuild kit for these carbs. They are the weird dual throat carb.

I think a call is going to be my only choice.

looks the same as the screw on my carbs (850L) , except mine is steel, not brass. maybe you can cross-reference some of these?
 
Bike Bandit still has 'em, and your dealer should be able to get 'em.
 
How do I know the one for the Kaw is the right one?

How does Bikebandit know which one I need? Do they have some database beyond the fiche available online? (It doesn't appear in the fiche, nor does it have a Suzuki part #)

Are these things standardized? A #1 or #17 or something? If so, how can I figure out which one I need?

Many thanks, I'm just rather frustrated,

Rob
 
Afraid not.

The needle valve is hidden under a sealed plug between #'s 41 and 33 on that schematic. There is no indication that it exists.

There is the needle valve, a spring, a washer, and an o-ring. No hint that any of it exists, and no part numbers for any of it.

Furthermore, nobody sells a rebuild kit for these carbs.

The carbs that nobody wants to admit ever existed....

Rob
 
THE SUZUKI FISCH DO NOT LIST THEM SEPERATE The Kawaski does list a part # for the needle & it should be the same. I would send an email to www.sudco.co and ask for info
 
Happy Ending

Happy Ending

Well, it looks like there will be a happy ending after all...

I just got back from visiting the fine people at www.motorcyclecarbs.com in person.

They didn't have the needle in stock, but usually do, and were happy to order one. They had all the o-rings I could want, and even had a kit for the throttle shaft seals. (came in sets of 8, I only need 4, anybody want them?)

Furthermore, they had a tool handy to help drill out the broken needle tip. Fixed good as new.

Extremely helpful, top-notch people. Looks like they are making some major changes to their web site. Keep an eye on them. They seem commited to going the extra mile for impossible to find parts.
