    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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 on HERE sell parts?

I'm rebuilding a set of carbs from a 80GS 550 and the round spring retainer that clips around to hold the float needle walked away. I don't want to spend 20$ to get it from a rebuild kit.

Anyone have something lying around they would sell me??

Thanks ~Gavin
 
I have one but you don't need it.
I've put many carbs back together without them.

Good to GO! Thanks Man

How about another question. There's an aluminum tapered plug that pushes from the bottom up, then the float bowl gasket covers it. Is there another round gasket to fill up the hole since it doesn't sit flush??

If it is above the float bowl gasket, I believe the correct answer is yes, there is a oring that does go there. But again like chef says you don't need it.

I never knew the oring or the retainer clip existed until I pulled apart my brother's virgin carbs and found them. The rest of the carbs I have been through didn't have these items and ran fine without them.
