    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.

Anyone have any info on this... ?

it doesnt seem that there are spacers, or a plate, or even needle springs for the model of carbs used (VM26SS) ????

.....keep in mind..these are not CV carbs...they are mechanicals..you will have to clairify what you are looking for (is it the diaphrams & springs? if so...not on this set)

This appears to be the exact set up of the slide assembly from my model VMs except according to the fiche above, there dont seem to be the plate the spring or the spacers...

Yeah and mine dont have them...but my concern was that the PO pulled them out...but looking at the way these are set up it doesnt seem they were really there to begin with, there seems to be no need for them as the needle fits up into the actuating arm, it doesnt move or shift around, seems to be the way its supposed to you know what i mean? BUT i was just trying to confirm that i didnt in fact have any components missing...i'll post up a pic...see what you guys think..

Maybe they are an early version of the VM26's? I noticed that the GS550 of the same year is like that, too. Probably not a problem unless you modify anything.
 
ok 'eres the pics of mine...

heres one taken apart (thats all the parts minus the two screws) and one together..

Am i crazy or does that seem like its the way its supposed to be...i mean the fiche backs it up...man i hope so i thought i was going to have to search for those darn things..
 
The slides are connected direct with linkage to the throdle, No springs are needed. The BS carbs need the spring because the diaphram is vacuum operated & not connected directly to the linkage
 
I reponded at your other post too.
If you're positive you have the B model and carbs, then you're not missing any parts. The '77 obviously used an inferior design but that doesn't matter here.
Sorry if I worried you about this.
