Carb Rebuild Specs?

I am getting ready to rebuild the carburetor on my 1980 GS850G. I have purchased 4 rebuild kits (I know they were not absolutely required), as well as the o-ring kit. The infamous GS Resources directions make this seem like even I could achieve success. One problem is that the GS Resources directions refer to the ?manual? for the specifics on the float setting, and the initial mixture screw settings. I have the Clymer manual and the original Suzuki operators? manual. Neither has this information. Does anyone have this information or know what manual I can get it from. I am afraid that they are possibly set wrong now, so I am leery of recording the current settings and repeating them during the rebuild.
Also, I will need to sync these puppies when I am done. Do I need to buy those permanent brass adapters for the carb sync tuner. Does the sync tuner come with them anyway? If I do need them, do I need the 5mm or 6mm adapters? Last but not least, what is the recommended cheap/easy/effective carb sync tuner?
 
The settings are given in both manuals, look under 'float hight'. Be very carefull when removing jets and screws, use the correct screwdriver for them or you might strip a few. Goodluck!

According to Clymer Manual for Suzuki GS 850-1100 Shaft Drive:

"set float height to 23-25mm (0.90-0.98")"

I will look up his information and email you. You can find him through PayPall as a merchant too. I bought a set. My Carb rebuild kits had all of them anyhow except for the fuel tube and T tube that conects the carbs together, so I was glad I had his kit.
Also if you cut and paste that link into the address bar on the top it may actually work.

Detman the link DOES work or else I wouldn't have posted it! :roll: C & P it into your browsers adress box.
 
I dunno...I can't access the site or email the guy.
Every link and address that I try I get an error or email returned.
Can I pay one of you to get the o-rings for me?
Paypal??

Frustrated and desperate,

As I just mentioned in another thread, I'm in contact with Robert Barr. I'll see if I can get the O rings sent to me and give them to you.
