Carb rebuild?

[Guest]

Hi All,
First, apparently I am not very active because I had to re register, again, shame on me!
My question is this: is there anyone around that is reliable and trustworthy in Flint, Saginaw, Bay City area of Michigan that is willing to tear down, soak, and put new o-rings in a set of carbs for a 1979 GS750? Please?? I am more than happy to pay! My problem is that I do not have the time to learn this myself right now. I am in school full time plus working full time plus family, and I do not have a garage to work in.

Either do them yourself per the tutorial here or go over to Stevens on Euclid in Bay City and aski for Eric..if he is still there. I rebuild them too. A shop is gonna run you 3 or 400 easy. I will PM you my number and you can call if you want

HI Chuck,
Thanks for the links and reply. Looks like I will have to make some time in the next month or so. Carbs scare the hell out of me so the links will come in very handy.
I do remember some one on this site selling the o-ring kits, I will have to search for him.
Thanks

robertbarr here on the forum. Be sure to go to page 3 of his place and order up the intake manifold orings as well.

If you have the plastic fuel tee and transfer tubes, I suggest they are replaced with the far superior metal type. The plastic ones end up leaking and you cant replace just the orings and move on. the metal,ones just need the orings if a failure occurs and thats that. Here are some links that you may find useful.

Its not really as daunting of a task as it seems.....heck, if I can do it.... keeping organized was key for me.
The tutorials here were quite helpful and appreciated.

thanks, I was running it though in my head looking at the tutorials thinking I can do this...aside from the time. Then reality hits, I have no place to tear down and work. I was politely yet firmly informed by the mrs that I am NOT going to do it on the kitchen table. lol

My offer still stands.

Thanks Chuck!

I know this thread is a little old, but I just wanted to publicly say thanks to chuck. I wound up sending the carbs to him to rebuild and I could not be happier! He answered all my questions, reminded me which carb has the vacuum line going to the petcock lol, quick turn around and a very detailed run down of what he did to the carbs.
It is nice to know that the members on this site actually know what they are talking about and are reliable.
Thanks Chuck!
Here are a couple of pics which do not do them justice.

Could only upload one pic...hmm
I see now there is only one pic per post allowed.
Anyway great job!
Great site!

Use an off site hosting site such as Photobucket..its free. Download pics there and then you can link up to 10 per post i think.

Thank you Matt for the trust and opportunity to rebuild them for you. still got some fine tuning to do though.

Nows the time to get a good vacuum sync to smooth them out. Then youll be tuning the mixtures with the side mixture screws. Most important is the gauges and get a good sync first. its a process....LOL
