    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.

FYI-My Carbs have a number precast into them.

No need to number them yourself when rebuilding. Just noticed it is in the casting. Here is a pic of my number 4

Just two things wrong with that idea.

#1. Here is a picture of one of my carbs. Evidently I have a VERY RARE NINE-CYLINDER GS. :eek: :dancing:

Even Allen Millyard would be jealous of this one. :D


#2. That is your #1 carb. They are numbered from left to right, as you are sitting on the bike. #1 is under your clutch hand, #4 is under your throttle hand.


I think that is more of an indicator of which mold was used to cast the body, rather than position indicator.


It is really rather easy to identify them, based on just a few key items.
#1 (the one you have pictured) has no throttle linkage out the left side, it is covered by a cap.
#2 has the vacuum port for the petcock.
#3 has the linkage to hold the throttle cable.
#4 has no throttle linkage out the right side, it is covered by a cap.

Yea...great idea..all mine are numbered correctly EXCEPT the one in the carb dip. I had #3 in there at the time I took the photo. Unfortunately I have 2 #4's. LOL!
 
As I mentioned, do NOT rely on that number to position your carb on the rack. My #9 carb should be enough proof of that.

I also gave you the quick, easy way to identify them, so it should not be any problem at all.
