    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...

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.

Got my pilot plugs in

So i just got in the mail the pilot plugs for my gs250. There were none for sale anywhere specifically for the 250 but were pretty sure the 450 sized ones will still fit. Attached is a photo of the plug sitting on the carb, and its not gonna fit. The plug seems to large to fit in the pilot hole. Is it supposed to be really tight or are they easy to plug in and out? Also, anyone here taken apart the carbs from a 250 know for sure if it needs the plugs?
Thanks
 
That is right. The float bowl will push it the rest of the way in.
 
Put a little lube (fuel or very light oil) on it and see it you can twist it in a bit.
 
thanks for the advice reddirtrider, ill give it a shot.
chef..... :-k
 
I don't think the 250 uses the plugs. They are not listed on the parts fishe.
 
That's not where that goes, is it ? Doesn't it go down in the area near the gasket, where it has that circular looking stain on it ?

I've slept since I did my carbs, so I may be wrong. :confused:


EDIT: Yeah im wrong. I'll shut up now and leave this to folks that knows what they're talking about

Now that I actually looked at the picture in it's full size I would say that that carb does not use one.
Sorry for the bad advice.
The main jet and pilot jet are the same length so they both pick up fuel from the bowl. On my carbs the fuel is diverted from the main jet through the pilot so the plug is needed to keep the fuel flowing up and also to keep it from picking up fuel.
