    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.

I was going thru the cleaning process with my carbs from a 1982 GS850GL. Some how I lost one of my air jets. I have scoured the garage floor, double checked inside the can of Berryman dip, checked my parts baggies for each carb I was using and I just can't find it. When I searched some of the places that sells jets online it seems the BS32SS carbs air jet is obsolete. The other 3 carbs have 170 size air jets.

I have asked Steve if he has any but if not I was wondering if anyone out there has one of these they can part with.

You would think if I was going to loss something it would have been one of those small springs or washers, these carbs have so many small parts.
 
Thanks I followed those links, and they are describing that as a main jet. That's a bit confusing because there is a main jet as well as the air jet.
