    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

New Question

There are 3 small lock washers left over that I have no idea where they go. Are any lock washers used inside the carbs?

These carbs had been apart before because they had 115 pilot screws and they had the caps off already.
They are too small for the bowl screws or top covers, and too large for the bottom of the pilot screw (I had 4 tiny ones for those)

A gs friend called me and we have come to the conclusion that the extra washers must not be needed. Maybe the PO had mistakenly added them somewhere.

Thanks 60ratrod, I have been looking for a #1 carb body on ebay, but haven't scored yet. A friend told me he thinks there is a company that sells new or refurbished ones for about $40 each.

I actually have a set of 29mm smoothbores I am going to eventually put on my gs1000, but was told by a racing guy that they wouldn't give the 16valve 1100e motor enough gas. Another race guy said a good performance improvement that is just bolt on would be the 33mm smoothbores, but the prices for them are WAAAY out of my affordability.

The 29s are worth double what the 33s will bring
