    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,

The aftermarket carb kits are usually not recommended as they contain inferior parts. Clean and reuse the stock parts and reassemble your carbs with an O-ring kit from http://cycleorings.com. That's all you need. Did you get yourself a can of Berryman's Carb Dip and follow the one and only Carb Rebuild Series?


Thank you for your indulgence,

The carbs were jetted for a pipe and pods years ago. I'm putting a stock exhaust and air box back on it. Carbs have been dipped and o-rings have
been changed with cycleorings. I like to get this right the first time. Being that the carbs are such a bear to get in and out. Hence the reason I need
to know the air jet size of 180 or 190.

Thanks,
Jim
 
Hi,

Are you sure your bike is a 1980? Are we talking about VM26SS carbs or BS34SS carbs?

From the Carb Spec thread, here's a page from a Hayne's manual:

If you check the chart here; Suzuki GS Series Carb Specs , you'll see the number 200 associated with the pilot air jet. I'm not sure what to tell you. I took a quick look at my manual and didn't see a spec for that part at all. I'll take a closer look. Did you download a manual from my site?

EDIT: I took a closer look through the manual. The #190 P.A.J. is associated with the GS850GX/GLX. The #180 P.A.J. is associated with the GS850GLZ/GD/GLD.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Hi,

Yes, I think that's a good place to start. I think you'll be fine. I find it odd that the Suzuki factory manual didn't mention anything specific for 1980. Maybe I didn't use the right term when searching the PDF. I didn't take the time to read the entire manual. Did you download it from my site yet?



Thank you for your indulgence,
