    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.

Hey,

I am cleaning my 78' 550 Mikuni VM carbs, and I have 2 questions.

-Stupidly, I snapped a choke tube (hopefully you'll know what it is). Is it extremely important? Its hanging on by about half of the tube, I just straightened it out. Where could I get a new one, and how do I take it out? I kicked my chair across the garage when I found out.

-Stupidly, I screwed down a pilot fuel screw too far and broke off the tip. Its about 1/4" missing. I have a feeling I can find one easily, but where do you think is the best place to go? (I just need one)

BTW - I ordered new o-rings from cycleorings.com (good site). Ill let you all know when I break another piece.

Thank you very much, I dont know how you found that. I think Ill get it, but it doesn't list a 550 on there. Its still going to work right?

It will fit the 550 as well. Make sure you get the busted bit from your old screw out before fitting
 
Apparently they just recently started selling the fuel screws. Before, there was not a source for them that I was ever able to find. Seems you lucked out.
