    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.

Rebuilding Carbs, removing needle valve?

The kits I got for the GS650 include needle valves, and need to know how to remove/install them. Looking at the carbs everything else seems straight forward, but it looks like the floats are in the way of taking out the the needle valves. I don't want to destroy the floats but can't see how else to get them out
 
You need to remove the float pin to remove the floats. Check out the carb rebuld pictures at http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_carbrebuild.htm

Please use a punch like the guide says. The idiot that owned my bike before me cracked one of the carb posts trying to get the float pin out with a hammer and screwdriver. :roll:

A punch should not be needed. Every carb float pin I have removed could be pushed out with the end of a toothpick held between a thumb and finger. A worst, maybe the tip of a ball point pen.
