    I forgot Overflow Tubes

    Bs32 carbs. Cleaned and installed. It was a battle to get them back in, and now i see i forgot the 2 overflow tubes. I dont want to take out the carbs again.
    Will it be ok without? The bike is not in show condition or anything close, so im not concerned with gas staining the engine.

    you should easily be able to refit the overflow tubes back on the carbs with them fitted to the engine
    1978 GS1085.

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Side note: the bike started instantly in first go. I am so happy my carb cleaning efforts payed off ��

        you can get them on, but it's not very easy....but doable

        long screwdrivers, needle nose pliers, and a bit of luck and some fiddle farting around

        .
