GS425 Carb Problem
Does anyone know the right positioning of the carb insulators. There are raised metal lugs inside the aluminium housing and I can't work out which way they go.Tags: None

Been in that boat!
I had the same problem on my gs400. I broke down and called my mechanic. "They go on the bottom" was the simple reply. They have something to do with controlling unvaporized gas between the carbs and the engine. Good luck!

I think the isolators on the 400/425/450 are universal - no right or left.Ed
To measure is to know.

The isolators are not universal, they can either face to the left or to the right depending on which side they are mounted.
They are the cast aluminium pieces between the rubber carb mountings and the head.

Thanks, these insulaotors with raised lugs on seem to be on later gs's as both manuals I have bought do not mention them fitment wise.

Seems no one knows the answer to my problem.Someone in 2003 had the same question but had no luck.I will try fitting them by trial and error and post the outcome to inform others.
Thank you to all who have tried.
