    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.

restoring a 1980 gs 750L. is there a reason all four carbs have a rubber plug in the small jet in bowl. what purpose does this serve? wouldn't that block the flow?

It block the flow of gas directly from the bowl. The pilot circuit draws fuel differently in CVs than in VMs..thus if the plugs are not there, they will flood the cylinders with raw gas and the bike wont run. They must be snuggly held in by the bowl too, so if they are hard and theres a circle imprinted in the flat tops I would replace them.
 
THANKS! firstb set of this style carbs ive ever redone!
I greatly appreciate the input!!!!!:):D
 
I should have said that they don't drink gas directly from the bowls from the bottom like VMs do....just to clarify a bit.
