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.

Help with carb rebuild

I have a 1981 GS 750. My #2 Carb has a vacuum port with a 1 inch black rubber cap on it. On the rebuild guide it says that it goes to the fuel petcock small tube fitting. This Bike was modified (too much I think!!!) when I got it and was wondering if it was supposed to be connected to something. Also, my airscrew for carb #1 is missing a washer and the fuel inlet needle valve seat clamp was missing uggghh. Not sure if that is a huge deal to have the seat clamp missing but my goal is clean up carbs and rejet as I have stock 2 into 1 headers but just pipes and pods. Also any ideas on where to start with a jet kit size? Sorry for the last questions a little more research on my part could prob figure it out!!! Thanks for any pointers.

Thanks for the help so far I could and would not have attempted any of my own repairs if it weren't for this website, Thank You!!!
 
Do you still have a vacuum petcock? If the PO capped it then maybe they had used a manual petcock and kept it when they sold you the bike.
 
Hey there

I'm just putting my carbs back together after my first time disassembling them so I know where you are at. I had two of my fuel/air screw washers stick in the carb body so maybe your washer is stuck to the o-ring and still wedged at the bottom of the hole.

To remove the spring, washer and o-ring easily, I use a pointed drywall screw.

Just stick it in the hole, give it about 1/8 twist, pull it out. Sometimes the o-ring comes out with the washer, other times you have to go in again.

.
 
The O ring and the washer are definitly not there. On Carb #3 I found them but for some reason they are not on other carbs. I do have a new petcock so I bet that's why the cap is on.
 
Done with carb rebuild and took for a spin. Did not run well so on to next step!! I have 2 into 1 on each header and pipes and I have pods(on bike when I bought it). Any ideas on starting point for dynajet kit? When I bought the bike it had aluminum foil on pod filters to restrict flow so I was aware that there was an issue. Thanks for helping out a newbie!
So far I found a stage 3 kit for about $100 on ebay.
