starter jet ??

[refeicul]

ok a while back i broke a float post. went to my local dealer and he had a set of bs32's sitting on a shelf and wanted 100$ for the set of 4 so i took them with out a second glance. well with the recent issues with my last ride i am re dipping my carbs. and noticed something different about them.

the press-fit starter jet is smaller i am assuming it is off a gs750. is this something to worry about or will a few extra turns on the mix should do it?

What are you calling "starter jet"?

Picture, please.

no probs ill so a side by side so you can see what im talking about as well as the differance

Thanks for the picture, it explains it perfectly.

I have seen them both ways on carbs for my 850s, I don't know if there will be a problem mixing them in a rack.

well acording to that spreedsheet on cliffs sight the starter jet on the 750 is #50 and the 850 its #32.5. i am assuming its like wire gauges the smaller the number the bigger it is.

i dident have a problem starting it i tried to ask a question in the performance & tuning thread http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=173280
of how the bike has been acting.. but this wouldn't effect the performance while riding just when its choked.

Why not try removing the starter jet tube from your damaged carb - just press fit- so MIGHT come out if you grab it with 3 jaw chuck and twist.

naaa its not really bothering me or the bike.. it started very well the other day at 20ish degrees. now if i do choose to do something it probably would be to drill out the ones that are there with some air blowing threw the choke slide cavity

Don't worry about it. Some have one hole at the bottom and others have three.
It'll suck the fuel up to start the bike on choke.

CArbs on my 1100G have that tube the look more like the "replacement" one. Has that small little hole like that.
Point that I want to make is that there is also a hole, well, two holes, that go thru the tube near the carb base. So if you are cleaning out with a wire, need to get that also. I can not make any stametment as to what that thru hole is for. Nor can I answer your question about why one arb has differnet tube than other, just pointing out that this smaller tube also has those other holes.
