    I agree also on the intake manifold Orings AND the condition of them. They should NOT be cracking in the rubber ( like a weather checked tire looks ) and they should not be any signs of delamination from the flanges.

    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Absolutely.

      Thanks for point that out I had forgotten to mention that. Bad intake O-rings can have you really chasing your tail if you scrupulously cleaned the carbs umpteen times, replaced the O-rings a couple of times and the carbs still seem wonky. Been there too.

        Did my first set of GS carbs back in about April of 2005.

        Did them again in May, 2005.

        Joined GSR in June, finally found out how to do them PROPERLY.

        Have not had to do a set twice since then, and I have done at least three dozen sets.
