    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.

Removing broken air/fuel screw

Does anyone have a suggestion for removing a busted idle screw tip from inside my carb? I wondered why my Colortune didn't show any difference when the screw was adjusted. And assuming I can fix this, where can you get a replacement screw?

My carbs are BS34 CV carbs for the 1977 GS400B.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
On the couple that I have had to do, I have found that the tip sticks into the throat ever so slightly. I have taken a Philips screwdriver (or other metal rod) and rolled it over the tip, pushing it back up. The ones I did snapped out of the holes, I feel fortunate for that, hope yours go as easily. :o

you can try boiling them aswell, some people have had success with that. Another person put a wire (I cut a piece off my wire brush) in a match stick, bent it at a 90 degree angle and managed to poke it out. Unfortunately I had to make my own centre punch and come from the top down using a hammer..wouldn't suggest it, but it got it out. best of luck.
