Does any company make a rebuild kit for the 1983-1986 gs550es dual-carb set up? Other earlier years are easy to find. My bike will start on starter fluid but wont run long. Help............ please!

I've used the CV o-ring set from here on a couple of sets of those dual carbs, order the set for the CV carbs, you'll have extra o-rings. Don't forget the intake boot o-rings (30mm) either, the link to those is on that page as well. Send Robert an e-mail (he's a member here) if you have questions, he's a great guy & you can't get abetter deal than this.

That's really all the stuff you need to rebuild your carbs, with the exception of the float bowl gaskets, which I recommend getting from a dealer.

Another member here (Nessism) has put together an EXCELLENT rebuild tutorial:

Not your carbs exactly, but the process is the same.

good luck...
