    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.

Needle valve!!!!!

Does anyone know where I can obtain a needle for a needle valve on a 1977 gs550? i was successfully cleaning carbs for the first time in my lfe and after a good cleaning to the needle valve I replaced it into the body and then tipped it upside down. Dang thing didn't slide when it was all varnished in with old gas.

So anyways, it's lost in the abyss. Can I pick one up somewhere or will I need to purchase a whole set of carbs and dig one out?

Anyone here have one to sell?


Thanks
Tim
 
I have some extra used ones from 79GS850. Has the same slide type carbs so it should work. Send me your add an I will mail you one
 
Some guy on E-bay has many different carb rebuild kits available. Of course you have to buy 4 of them, but at $65 it's a lot cheaper than $100 from most the other places. I picked 'em up!
 
Take your old ones to the dealer.

Take your old ones to the dealer. They have new ones with rubber tips. They are made for newer bikes, but work great on older bikes as well. If you have your old ones with you they can find the exact size you need. They are much cheaper than the original ones becouse they have assorted kits of them.
