    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.

Hi all. I just ordered the rings and such from Barr to do a carb clean/rebuild. I'm hoping someone can list the other gaskets I'm going to need to get the job done. I'm half asleep sometimes reading the posts and how to's and want to make sure I'm all prepared for the task. As well I'm getting new boots/intake and going to redo the air box. To sync the carbs I found a good make your own instrument that seems like it will work. Would appreciate the second opinion on the parts list. Thanks.
 
Agreed on the stainless allen head screws. Do NOT reinstall the originals.

Also, what sort of machine do you have? The GSR Hive Mind can often give more specific advice with a bit more information.
 
I'd say float bowl gaskets are a "sure not gonna hurt", but mine have been through the ringer with no problems. They've spent hours in carb dip, been razor bladed off one body and put on another, they just don't leak.
 
Sorry, it's a 79' GS850G. I did order the stainless screws from Barr as well.

I believe the SS screws from Robert are for the intake boots only - the other screws we are referring to are the ones that hold the covers & float bowls on. The OEM screws are phillips heads & often get stripped when removed. Replacing them with SS allen heads is recomended.
 
great advice. Most of the screws and bolts on this old girl need replacing. I'll have a good look and get ready to replace them all as I take them off. thanks again.
