    GS450L enrichener question

    I am just starting a carb cleaning on a GS450L. I was wondering if I need to replace any kind of gasket under the enrichener body on the side with three screws. I have Mr. Barr's o-ring kit for it, but there is no gasket for that part as far as I can tell. Is this a re-useable gasket? Is there even a gasket under there? I would hate to start tearing things apart and find out I need more parts. My wife kind of wants to use this bike this weekend.

    There is a gasket (but no o-ring) under the enrichener body, but it will likely come off intact.

    You will need to remove the enrichener body if you intend to dip the carbs for a thorough cleaning.

      Thanks for the speedy reply. I now have the enrichener body off on the left one (and saved the gasket) and notice the gasket is similar to the the bowl gasket. I have bowl gaskets comming. Does the vacuum port just hold in by friction?

        When I cleaned the carbs on my project 450 I reused the gasked behind the enricher body. And yes, the vacuum port was also held in just by friction.
