Big Sigh......input needed

[GSX1000E]

Update: Picked up a used set of carbs with unknown history. Stripped them down and dipped each one for 24 hours. Thorough cleaning and compressed air. Reassemble with good cleaned parts, o-rings. Got it running and took it down to the independent shop where the carb sync was done and mixture screws responding. Bike runs much better and even smells better at idle now! Hooray!

Just got to get the gear indicator to stop leaking oil. Looks as if its coming out of the post where the electrical wire hooks up. Is there a good known fix for this? Can I just plug that sucker up and not use the gear indicator display? I mean I usually know what gear I am in.....

How about #34 here?: http://www.partsoutlaw.com/OEMpartfi...001/5602870017
Just a simple O-ring should do it.

It appears to be wicking right out of the area where brass pin is. O-ring looked fine when I looked at it...( i know..i know ), but I applied a wee bit of sealant to that area and its dry when leaking is first noticeable.... any one else have it leak there? I will remove and examine the nylon nut dealio in full sunlight for minor cracking or whatnot.

Ha! a new o-ring did the trick!

bummer....new o-ring did not live up to expectations!.....Guess I need a new shift/gear indicator/ dealio after all

You could send me your old carbs for, say, $10?
