Carb and Petcock Question

[Jayson2012]

Hello I Just picked up my first bike its a 77 GS 550. It hasnt seen daylight in about 10 years and a friend is giving it to me. I am haveing trouble with the petcock leaking in the on and reserve position. I have looked all over the Internet and can not find a rebuild kit for it, can you use the rebuild kit from a 750 or a petcock from a 750. This is just the start of my problems of getting this bike back on the road im sure so please bear with me on my posts.

check www.z1enterprises.com, they should have what you need. If you cant find it, give them a call. If you cant get a kit z1 also has replacement universal ones. I didnt look at the fiche, but you can probably still get a factory one from the dealer. Depending on the carbs' condition you can get most of the stuff (except needle valve seats :shock from z1. If it is a low mileage bike, you can just get o-rings from robert barr (cycleorings.com) and intake boot o-rings from member macmatic. That should get you well on your way to being back on the road. Good luck.

Thanks for the replys I went to both those sights and neither has a rebuild kit for the 77 gs550 they have them for the 750s I think I only need the rubber gasket, the O ring and needle looks ok and the filter cleaned up nice.
