Air Pilot Screw Washer / Oring Missing

[Adnan]

Hi i was wondering if anyone could answer this one. Some time back i noticed the carbs on my 1989, 750 GS were overflowing and leaking fuel all over the place including into the head.

I read up the discussions on this on the internet and gathered that i had to open and clean them. This I just finished doing. However in cleaning i realized that some in one of the carbs the Air Pilot Screw washer was missing and in the other carb the Air Pilot washer was there but O Ring was missing.

Could this have been the reason for the overflow leak? If i cant find the washer and O Ring and put the carbs back as they are will they overflow and leak again?

Thanks in advance for your help guys!
Cheers,
Adnan

Seems kind of foolish to take apart the carbs, find something obviously wrong, and then ignore it and put it back together anyway.

Please find the proper spring and get new O-rings for your carbs. I'm not sure if Robert Barr (cycleorings.com) will ship to Pakistan, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Dear Nessism,

Thanks for the reply... reading the orignal post again after your reply makes me want to laugh at my own logic! :P

I'll have a word with Robert Barr and see if i can manage to get the O Rings and Washers shipped out here!

Cheers,
