    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...

Does anyone sell a carb kit for the carbs on a 1981 GS450T? I have looked every where and just cant find anything. i would like to get the complete o-rings and gaskets plus I know I need new jets and needles. the plungers are in great shape in just missing a few key components.
 
You don't need new jets and needles unless yours are really screwed up and then you can just get those individually in a lot better condition than in a carb kit. As far as your orings - get them from www.cycleorings.com (rob barr is a member here and runs the service) while your bowl gaskets can be purchased from Z1 or any of the vendors in your megawelcome (Basscliff's site - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/Bikecliff)

Trying to buy carb kits will cost you over $100 and the jets are inferior quality than what you already having in your carbs.

Thank you for the info. I just ordered the o-ring kit. now to try and find the bowl gaskets. :D
 
I have found everything I needed for the carbs. I also went ahead and got new allen head bolts for the carbs. Thank you for all the help.
 
Hey Scott I think i'm going to start the same project on my 450! i don't have new bowl gaskets but once i get them i'm going to start.
You should post some updates as you work through the project!
let me know how your carb cleaning goes.

Mr Rogers. I found bowl gaskets at a great price at the bike bandits website. Check there. I'll be posting pictures of my carb work also. Have fun I know I am :)
 
how much did you get them for? i was planning on just buying gasket paper and making them myself...

I will let you know in the morning how much they were. I can't remember off the top of my head and I have all the paper work in my desk at work.
