spoken to a good friend of mine today, who happens to work at a local motorcycle dealers.
he has kindly offered to strip, clean,polish,and rebuild me vm26 carbs for the princley sum of a few pints of the old amber necter.

Good deal. If you need any help tuning them, just ask.

Hey Davidp, can you ask your friend if he can order 4 new Pilot Fuel Screws with springs? I don't want to have to buy the whole set of carbs if I can just buy the screws.
I've E-mailed a couple of places but have no reply.There for a VM 26 carb.
:-D

Pilot fuel screws can be had from Mikuni.... 16 bucks each last time I checked.
Order a rebuild kit for a 77-79 GS750. Get the K&L kit. It includes the pilot screw and spring, where as the kit for a 1000 does not. The only difference will be the main jet supplied (use your old one).

[Jon78gs1000]

Thanks Renobruce,I'm on it :-D

[renobruce]

The kits are from K&L. Part number 18-2466, 77-79 GS750.

I got mine on ebay for $18 per kit.

I think first i'll try to machine 4 new ones.It's cheaper than $70-80 for just 4 screws. I can use the boss's lathe.And I have the dimensions.
Still no E-mail from prospective shops.

You getting all new everything for that price minus the mains which you don't need. It's a good deal if your rebuilding the carbs. If you do decide to get the kits, try Georgefix on eBay. Send him an email and tell him what your looking for. Tell him Hoomgar sent you
