    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.

Ok in my stupidity trying to adjust the mixture screw on the bottom of the carb on my 78 GS550 I must have over-tightened them and busted the tips of each one. I checked and the tips came out of the holes in each carb and are not blocked. The problem is I can't order them. I checked online and at several parts shops and all have the same fiche without a listing for them. They say that they should come in a carb rebuild kit but I already bought some for all 4 and they did not come in the kit. Does anyone know where you can find them.
 
Motorcycle salvage place.
They usually have a wall full of carbs you can go through.
 
Yes, buy the kits. Or find rebuild kits for a 78 GS750. You can get the needles, but they are 16.00 each, so you might as well have some extra parts.
 
Or you could go to the salvage place and spend a couple bucks.
It's your money.
