ok things started to go ok i got a screw extractor and replacement hex head screws for my stuck screw problem.. i disassembled labeled and sorted the parts by carb.. but however on the last carb i took apart, while removing the float the pin was stuck so i pushed with a pin pusher then switched to a screw driver and back again the pin was still stuck... well while doing this, one of the arms that holds the float in place cracked and snapped off.. i know this cant be repaired.. what i am getting at is does anyone know where i can get a replacement carb body for #1???:cry:
 
Do a search for float pin post, this topic has been covered before. Several people have offered fixes for it. If you can't repair the post, start a thread in the parts wanted section. Someone probably has a carb body laying around.
 
As almarconi mentioned, that topic has been coverer MANY times, with varying rates of success, but one thing is very important ...

WHAT BIKE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???? :eek:

Please create a signature that shows your bike so you don't have to remember to mention it every time you ask a question.
Congratulations are in order, however, for having your location in your profile. Maybe someone near you can stop by to help. :o

No need to buy a carb rack, you can fix the broken post.
 
so in theory it could work i prob would have to talk with the manufacturer but it gives me options
 
The PO repaired one on mine with some wire: tapped a hole perpendicular to the existing hole down on the unbroken part, made a groove in the top of the broken part, looped the wire around and tightened it down. Looks like he glued it, too. Seems ok.
 
solved for now

solved for now

i found a place to get a carb in southern cali Neanderthal Cycle salvage said the have a few of them that need "mild cleaning" and are off running bikesso for now it sounds like a good option
 
Did you try ebay? Carbs for these bikes are not that hard to find.
 
naturally and nothing came up which is why i called them i did a google search as well and lol i got re directed to bike spec's here and on other sites google turned up on in spain but he wanted 150euro's for a carb with the same problem as mine (broken float post)
 
I don't know what you are searching under, but I found these 2 listings in about 5 minutes. Both will work on your bike.

Use search terms suzuki gs carbs or suzuki gs carburetors or gs750 gs850 carburetors. These carbs are not that hard to find. You might even have a motorcycle salvage yard near you.
