    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.

Hi guys!,

I am about halfway through overhauling and restoring my prize 1979 Suzuki GS1000E and I am now hitting some stumbling blocks as regards parts and advice. I have removed the carbs and bellmouths and rubbers which join the carbs to the cylinder blocked and I am led to understand that there is a o ring which seats in the rubber against the manifold is this correct please. I have struggled to locate any carb rubbers has anybody any ideas please. Please take a look at my pics of the beast at

Bike looks NICE! Good work.

Check the following link for info on the intake boot O-ring. Your boots are hard to see in the photo but they look kind of ragged and have nipples installed on the vacuum port (similar to Kawasaki intake boots?).

Much appreciated, thank you for the response, very informative article. Any idea where I can purchase the intake boots please.
 
Those boots are Kawasaki boots, which have the vacuum ports and NO oring. The backs have a built-up ridge on them that acts like an oring. I actually like those better, and have put them on my 1000 (alot easier to check the synch). They are also more readily available and cheaper than the Suzuki boots. You just need to drill the hole one size bigger. I bought mine on ebay. Here's a link from Tom MLC

I like the look.:) Gotta question the bars though. How do they feel? Looks like they're upside down and it would be hard on the wrists.
 
Thank you very much for the replies everybody, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks Renobruce that link was spot on. It certainly does look like I have Kawasaki boots and now I have examined them further the holes have been enlarged. I shall be trying those ebay links you have provided.
