Hey guys. I have been reading on these forums that I should skip the carb rebuild kits and buy the o-ring kit off cycle o-rings which I just did. My next step is going to be searching of a gasket kit and my questions is whether you guys think it's worth it to get a gasket kit that includes the float needle valve? From your guys experience cleaning these carbs am I going to need anything other then the o-rings and gaskets? Have any of you ever run into a situation where you had to replace the float needle valve or any of the jets? On a side note I also bought the intake boot o-rings as well, mine are find but I figure I might as well change them while its apart. 1979 GS1000N

Also I saw a thing on the homepage about rebuilding the carbs for an 80s or new GS but is there a tutorial around for the older 79 VMs? -

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.Comment
