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.

Help, need source for carb part

Hi

I have a GS850 GN with Mikuni VM 26 carbs fitted. Due to poor running on one cylinder I stripped the carbs and discovered the previous owner had snapped the end off one of the the pilot mixture screws (the ones under the float bowl).

I called my suzuki dealer they told me it isn't listed as a separate part, but I could buy a complete carb if I wanted..Ha

Can anyone help me find a replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Tried both of these but no luck :cry:

The problem is the pilot mixture screw was a 'do not adjust' part so Suzuki don't list it as a part. Check out any factory exploded drawing of the VM carbs, it's never shown.

Can anyone else help?

Thanks

Is the end of the broken screw still in the carb body? If so, then you need a new body. Trying to drill or remove them generally ruins the carbs jetting.

Nope, the carb body is clear...
 
I could give a run down to the salvage yard, but it'd be hard pressed to be sure an find the right one, maybe I could give you their number? I've seen huge piles of mikunis there, just waiting for a loose screw!

bike works motorcycle salvage, in longmont

good luck!
