How to rebuild VM carbs? Guides?

[Guest]

Hey all. New to forum, new to rebuilding carbs.
Just bought a 79 gs850 that I'm trying to get running.
The links to the guides that I've found on here don't seem to work. Does anyone have a working link for those? Or a link to another guide?

Also, I bought new o rings from cycleorings.Com along with intake boots and o rings. Anything else I might need?

If you are referring to the links on Basscliff's page (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff), you'll need to set your browser to compatibility view if you are using IE 11 and newer. You can find the page here though - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...rb_rebuild.pdf

East stuff, just take them apart, dip them or ultrasound them, clean everything, check the passages are clear, and put them back together. Probably won't need much else. Usually the gaskets come apart without damage. Shouldn't need any needles on a '79 unless it has a zillion miles. New screws might be a good idea if some previous bone head has tightened them too tight with a crappy screwdriver. Allen heads are nice. Occasionally the fuel and vent hoses between carbs could be deteriorated.
Bench synching and vacuum synching is easier once you figure out which way to turn the screws.

The VM carbs are much simpler and easier to work on than CVs.

One caution, do not tighten the fuel screw until it bottoms out. The tip will break off and get stuck in the hole.
