    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...

    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.

HELP. I have just stripped dowm my carbs VM26 to clean them befroe fitting a K&N filter and have noticed that one of the pilot srews in the bottom of the carb has been bent (the tip). Does anyone know where I could get one of these as they are not listed in the parts book. I hope some one can help
Cheers
 
You can try the dealer. There are also numerous web sites that sell carb parts/kits and I hope someone hops on here soon and posts some for you as I don't know any myself.

eBay is also a good source for carb rebuild kits for these bikes.

Pilot Screws

I am going through my carbs right now too. Been up late three nights straight, reading old posts. Boy I've learned a lot from this site...

As you state, these are not shown in the parts microfiche. AFAIK they are not available from Suzuki.

They were not included in the Keyster kits I bought. Nor were any o-rings. Maybe a different brand kit?

I noticed a couple of my pilots were bent a bit at the tip. I was able to straighten them out to the point they are not noticably bent anymore. I was very careful. They seem to go in fine. I hope this works out for me, since I don't know where to get new ones either...
 
One more thing-

One more thing-

I meant to mention-

I have gotten parts from these guys in the past. They may be able to help. I notice the K&L kit for a GS750 of the same era has a pilot screw. BOTH gaskets, and all the o-rings. (I'm not saying that will work, I don't know) They don't list a K&L kit for 78-79 GS1000.

Send them an email. They have always replied promptly. They sell on Ebay, but prices are better straight from them. They are in Canada.
 
I have a used one if you can't find it. from my 850 vm26's should be the same. PM me your add
