    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Still learning ...

Whilst carbs off and being cleaned, took the float chambers off and unscrewed main jets to check and clean.

What looked like the very sticky remains of a tiny O-ring (13332-44080) was present under each jet at start of thread.

Looked on parts website and it suggests O-ring has been superceded by a plain washer ?
"SUPERSEDED BY 13382-03110 WASHER"

Can anyone tell me if it is a thin copper washer or a fibre washer (because I already have a box full of those!)

Thanks.
 
What model and year bike are we referring to? I've never seen an O-ring used under a main jet.

The PO must have used O-rings instead of the factory copper washer. Steel washers work just as well BTW and cost less. ;)
 
The bike's a 1983 UK spec GS850GZ.
Could indeed be a previous owner's fit. But they are definitely semi dissolved black O-rings just like the gooey one I found on the diaphragm sealing spigot within the fuel tap on the same bike.

Nessism. Just to clarify ... the factory drawings :-
http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Suzuki/Motorcycle/1982/GS850G/CARBURETOR/parts.html
show a 'washer' [number 41 under the main jet 42] of some type (that's where I got the 1332-44080 Suzuki part number from) but good to know a copper washer will do the job.

I'll sort some out and anneal them for good measure.
