    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Yes...another carb help question please! :)

Your kit is for the 34mm CV carb GS1000; 1980-81. You have VM carbs, most likely 26mm, used on 78-79 model years. Go to SUDCO and get your carb parts and jets.
 
1st, for VM carbs, the general consensus here is don't buy carb kits. Clean the carbs and new O rings per the tutorial.

You have read the carb cleaning tutorial???

Also, that fuel screw (not included) looks mighty short. Are all 4 of them short? Turn your carb bodies over and look down that hole. Can you see light at the bottom? If not, those broken off tips are clogging the idle circuit

Z1 sells replacement fuel screws
 
Thanks for the help! Sending the kits back now and ordering some o-rings!

Also, yeah sorry about the Honey Brown, I just picked up a bunch of Granville Island Winter Ale, if anybody of you are in the Pacific NW, I highly recommend you try it!

Don't forget the bowl gaskets too.

Samuel Adams Boston Ale for me. However, in the spirit of the seasons OctoberFest and Winter Lager are in my fridge now. I also enjoy some Guinness Stout or two here or there.
 
I bought my VM bowl and top gaskets from jaquishmotorsports on ebay. The cut was not perfect, but after installing and having fuel overflow issues, the bowl gaskets haven't leaked.
 
Just an update, not really about the carbs...its a little out of season but nevertheless, this watermelon beer is fantastic!
