    starter jet ??? location

    totally noob question
    location for starter jet???
    GS550E 1982
    carbs BS32SS ID:47070.
    carbs installed are from other bike,had problem with idle,so decided to clean them while I wait for new shims.
    ordered new main jet and pilot jets (since i cant read anything from them even after soaking/cleaning)

    Why did you buy new jets? All you had to do was to properly strip and dip each carb per the instructions found here at Basscliff's site (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff) after order new o-rings from www.cycleorings.com.

    There is no starter jet

      The "starter jet" is the tiny hole in the end of the pickup tube that sits in the corner of the float bowl. Not adjustable, not replaceable.

          striped and diped,still cant read value for pilot jet + carbs came from bike that was rejeted for pods.so instead guessing size im just gona replace with "original" jets

            Probably a good choice, but please buy Mikuni jets, not just any other jet that claims to be the same size.

              000 grade steel wool will polish jets so numbers can be clearly seen.

              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.
