    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.

Intake Boots? I need them...

I finally got the tank recoated and bike cleaned up from sitting and I started to get the carbs off to put the newer ones on that a nice guy from this forum sold me for a little of nothing and that is when the problem started.

When I was taking the old carbs off the rubber, and since I don't know there name I will call them, intake boots basically desintegrated before my eyes. They are brittle so I need to replace them.

They are held on by 2 screws and go on the intake side of the carbs. If you know what they are called can you tell me? Also, if you know where I can get 4 of them, I would appreciate if you can tell me that as well. Thanks guys.

This is for a 1979 gs850 an 850gn to be redundant :)

Yes I believe they are intake boots, and I believe you can get them on http://www.z1enterprises.com/ Also make sure you get new o-rings for them as well(if they dont come with it).

You sure you have your "sides" correct? :-k

The INTAKE side of the carbs is toward the air filter box, and there are no screws in them.

Do you mean the intake boots BETWEEN the carbs and the head?

Either way, there are many places that sell them. First thing you need to do is to log on to Basscliff's site, then look for his page on vendors. Any of those listed, and a few more, will have what you need. The NEXT thing you need to do is to determine what bike you have. Actually, you probably already know, but you did not share that with us, so WE don't have a clue. :o
This is why we suggest you put your bike in a signature line so it shows with every post you make.
It's also a good idea to post your location so we can laugh at the weather you are having. :D

Thanks guys. Steve, glad to see you are back and doing well after your spill.

Jackson, TN is my location and today was a beautiful day. I took my Intruder Volusia 800 (40th anniversary edition) to Nasvhille, TN and back for a board meeting. It was chilly this morning going up but the ride back was phenomenal.

I will see if I cna add a signature with that information. Did the edit not show up? I realized I didn't add that right as I clicked the submit button and then added it within a few seconds. Hmm.

Thanks again.

I took a spill? :eek:

Would somebody please give me some details on this? :-k

I am currently operating on the delusion that I have been rather accident-free (on the bike) for about 200,000 miles now,
and have actually put on 15,787 miles since Memorial day. :D

Here's what they look like: http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=314

Steve, I went to Basscliff's site, but I couldn't find a link to a list of vendors. I know I have used it before but I just didn't see it. I went through his columns several times to no avail.

That's what I thought. Those are NOT on the intake side of the carbs. They are BETWEEN the carbs and the engine.

Take another look at his page. At the top there are some links to manuals and wiring diagrams. Just below that he has his disclaimer, followed by some acknowledgments. Then, at the very top of the left column, is a link that says ...
READ ME-Basic Info-Vendors-Links . (<-- this is a link, too. :D Takes you right to it.)

:D

And I got paid for a lot of it, too. :clap:

It's been 6 1/2 weeks since I even touched a steering wheel, and that was only while moving a car in the driveway while I was home for a week.
It's been almost 11 weeks since I have driven a car off my own property.

Sorry, I thought that was you a while back... Perhaps Basscliff? I'm going to have to look that up now. Thanks for the link!

Just to double check, I found this: http://www.bikebandit.com/suzuki-motorcycle-gs850gn-1979/o/m6121

Number 16 is what I think I need. Although in my searching I have found some metal ones that look similar and I can't tell based on this diagram if these are the rubber ones or not. If they are, they are expensive at about 33 dollars a pop. Is that right?

And, for the record, it was Basscliff: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showpost.php?p=1034067&postcount=119

Thats correct, you need 16 and 17(new oring).

Sometimes you can find em cheap on 'the bay, good luck.
 
Hi,

#16 PIPE,INTAKE
13110-49000 (replaces 13110-45010) 4 required @ $26.35 each
2141_12.gif


From http://www.partshark.com , probably the cheapest price online. Yes, a little pricey but they will last another 25 years or so. Might as well replace the intake O-rings too, #17. We usually buy our O-rings from http://cycleorings.com . (Fixed it for you Steve.) :)


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Well, actually, most of us get them from cycleorings DOT com, not cycleorings DASH com. :-\\\

But you know how it is with these computer geeks. They just get so busy typing, they don't have a lot of control over what comes out.

For proof, here is a picture that BassCliff posted of himself:
