    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...

    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.

Quick bs32ss Bolt/Screw Question.

I just got my bs32ss carbs from an '80 850 apart yesterday and had to drill out about 6 screw from the carb tops. So now I need new hardware.

What size is the hardware for:
1) Carb tops.
2) Carb boots.
3) The two 'rail plates' (bottom and rear). ?

Also the only hardware with washers is on the boots, correct?

I'm probably just going to replace everything with new socket head screws because the regular machine screws stripped really easily.

Thanks in advance.
 
Tops - M5x14
Fuel bowls - M5x16
Top rail M5x10
Bottom rail - M6x14

I did not put any washers on mine.
The tops can also use M5x16, they will just be a bit long.

And welcome to the forum.
 
Got the carbs rebuilt/cleaned up last night, and installed a Dynojet kit today (went with the 165 mains). Previous owner was running stock jets with 4-1 pipes, and a busted airbox (literally cracked). Threw the airbox away away and put pods on, went to start it and the battery was dead. Jumped it from my truck and adjusted the idle screw a bit and stays right at 1k after about 10 seconds of choke. Nice and smooth through the RPM range (used to stutter from 4-6k, the take off afterward).

Thanks for the help with screw sizes. Looks like I'll be back up and riding when this battery charges back up.

Next Question:

What is the trick to get the needles off of the slides? Needle nose pliers on the two little holes in the clip?
