When installing my new Dynojet kit today into the GS's CV carbs I miffed up enlarging one of the slide holes. My first slide I was very careful to enlarge the hole straight and vertical... problem is they're an angled hole. the drill bit into the inside near where the large spring rests. Where can I get a new carb slide?

I don't believe those holes have to be that precise... the larger dia hole allows the slide to drop faster - not really rocket science.
I wouldn't worry about not having a straight, perfect hole - they should work fine.'85 GS550L - SOLD

If not, use some JB weld and re drill it...Comment

The only problem is that the hole penetrates around the plastic top-hat over the needle. If JB weld will work in that area without creating problems then that's what I'll do.Comment

Hi,
If necessary, partsnmore.com has a carbslide/diaphragm for your bike @ $75 each. Z1 doesn't list them on their website but you might give them a call to see if they can get them at any better price.
Thank you for your indulgence,

post a picture.
the 1st few jet kits i did..i used a drill press.
not good but everything worked fine with the one sided oval holes.
i found out the best way is to let the bit follow the hole by hand.Comment

Okay here are the pictures:
With needles and clips in place
With everything removed
The c-clip can be rotated to block the hole, but I don't know if that will do much.
On a side note blowerbike. I am in Trenton, IL which is right near Germantown, IL. Every time i see you post I initially think you live a few miles from me.Last edited by Guest; 02-15-2011, 10:45 AM.Comment

That hole should work fine - give it a go.
Also, when I re-install the circlip, I rotate the little ears over the plastic, keeping the spaces open & unobstructed. I figure that will help vent the slides a wee bit faster. (OK, so I'm anal...)'85 GS550L - SOLD

As long as the hole is the correct diameter on one side or the other you're good to go.sigpic
