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.

Hi, i am currently in the process of rebuilding my carbs. i have a few questions.
i have a pilot jet on carb #2 that is stuck in there. the slot has been stripped so i cannot screw it out any more. what can i do to get it out?

also, my idle screw (pilot screw) has no spring and washer. it only has an o-ring. is this normal/important on my model of carbs? (BS32)

thanks in advance
 
Suggest you put a few drops of Marvel Mystery Oil (or similar penetrating lube) on the jet and let it soak overnight. Then use a left hand drill bit on the jet and you might get lucky and it will come out as you drill it.

Unfortunately, the brass jets are very soft and you will likely simply drill through the jet, so be careful to not go too deep. If you do drill through, use a screw extractor. These Black and Decker extractors get lousy reviews on Amazon, but - in my experience - the fine thread on them seems to work better than others on the soft brass.

Your idle mixture screws should have a spring, washer, and tiny o-ring, but check the parts diagram at bike bandit.

Good luck!

PS I really loved my GS700E. Great bike. Wish I still had it.
 
anyone know if the spring/washer is important for the idle mix screw? mine did not have any, just the o-ring.
diagrams do not show the idle screw because it is "factory set. no adjustment"

Yes they are important!
I have washers and springs if you need some.
