Looking for a good source for main jet washer and pilot screw caps

[Guest]

I picked up a newbie cafe racer built GS550E 1980. It did not even have pod filters on it but seems to run great and be mechanically sound. While tearing down the carbs I noticed that number two is missing the main jet washer. Also, I need to get the pilot screw caps. Can anyone tell me of a good source for these items?

Thanks.

Z1 should have what you need. https://www.z1enterprises.com/
While you have the carbs apart make sure to record all the jet sizes and needle situations.

You don't need the pilot screw caps. The metal plug was added at the factory to discourage tampering for emissions reasons, but they are not necessary at this point in the bikes life. Regarding the washer under the main jet, I'm sure some of the members here can send you one. I might even have a couple myself. Send me a PM if you need me to look.

Thanks. I have to dig into the carbs to really see what he did/didn't do to them. I just have never seen the washers listed anywhere and there is a lot of gas residue in that carburetor. I will write down and photograph everything just in case.
