    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.

Something missing from my carbs?

I decided to tackle the carbs myself, opened them up and was removing the flat o-rings when I noticed carb # 1 (right hand side) is missing the aluminum plug, is that supposed to have a plug like the other 3?
If it is missing, wonder where it went?

Carbs are from a 1980 GS1000S 34MM CV Type.



 
I believe its plugged because there are no pilot screws on the bottom of CVs. So the answer would be yes it should be plugged like the others.

Get some aluminum round stock and make your own. Just a tad tight or some JB weld smeared on to hold it in.
 
Should be there. the bowl gasket also seals it so still should still work

Thanks Chuck, I'll see what I can find around my shop, should have something close, if not I can get a plug machined to fit.

IF you have one turned down on a lathe, have the guy making it make it 1 or 2 thousands bigger than the ID of the hole so its a good snug fit. It doesn't have to be real thick either..just maybe 1/8 inch or so to plug it well.
