    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.

Help! Need 42.5 pilot & 170 airjet 82 750EZ

Time now for my walk of shame...while bringing 82 750EZ out of retirement, I lost a stock 42.5 pilot jet and the 170 air jet (one GSR post lists this as the pilot air jet - it's the small round jet that is screwed into the left orifice on the intake side of my stock CV carbs.)

I dropped them down my laundry room sink drain (didn't have a strainer in the drain :-( - idiot! that I am)...Have called a plumber but no response yet (and not even sure they can be recovered via that method...)

I've checked some of the forums and can't seem to find a source for factory Mikuni parts as listed above. Motorcyclecarbs.com doesn't list these parts, and our buddy Wired George @ www.wgcarbs.com seems to be getting out of the parts business. I can't wait 8 weeks for one of his rebuilds, either.

Anyone got any suggestions (other than buying a set of carbs off ebay?)
 
PM me your address and i will send them out i have some spares kicking around that i can part with...
 
They are probably still sitting in the trap of the laundry sink. Don't run any water down the sink. Remove the trap and empty everything into a bucket. If your lucky they are still in there.

almarconi,

I HOPE they are still in the drain pipe - took great care not to run any H20 after my "ooops" moment. This drain has no trap, and also services H20 from kitchen sink and dishwasher 1 story above, so there MAY be a problem.

I DO sincerely thank you for your advice, and hope that we will converse (on happier subjects in the future!)

Your immediate response to a "stranger's" request means a lot to me! Thanks again.

Greg Janney
 
Wow! What do I owe you for your trouble?

Wow! What do I owe you for your trouble?

I sincerely appreciate your immediate reply, response, and mailing of your parts. I'm overwhelmed - know that this is a great forum, but definitely appreciate your help.

How can I repay your generosity? What do I owe you for your time, parts, postage, and gas to get to the P.O.?

Not sure where you are located, but I've been a professional photographer for 20+ years. Can I assist in some way?

Greg J
 
All I ask that you do to repair me is pass the generosity on to someone else that may need it. Its all about Karma!!!
 
Pass it on! Amen!

Pass it on! Amen!

Great advice, and will "pass it on" at every opportunity. I'm a firm believer in "what comes around, goes around (aka Karma)." Thank you again.

Thanks to everyone on this site for your wisdom and time.
