Well finally got the courage to strip the BS32's off the 1981 GS1000E. They haven't been off the bike since it was made from the look of it.
So in I dive.
No1, 2 and 4 's filter were blocked with what looked like fine paper and rust. Pilot jet on No2 and 4 were blocked solid. Rust on all four float bowls and the main needle jets on 2 and 4 were clogged with this fine paper and rust. More worrying was the two large lumps that were inside no 1 carb and I still can't find where that's come from. So I'm happy that they are cleaned and ready to go.
Next, I look at the carb rubbers. They are all cracked and metals showing. Impact driver to hand and off comes no 1 OK. No2 is a little bit more tempremental but comes away. No3 the upper screw comes out but the bottom starts to round. I knock the rubber around and low and behold the screw starts to undo. Stick a screwdriver on it and out it comes.
Then theres no 4. I think I should have given up and waited till tomorrow with this one. Top screw sheared the head off. Bottom screw rounded. I finally cut the upper corner off the rubber to get the rubber to move hoping that the bootom screw would loosen. Not so lucky.
I go back to whats remaining on the top screw. I cut a slot in the stud and turn. Another part of the screw shears off.
Its looking like a push to the local engineering shop to weld a couple of nuts on whats left to get the remained out and try the carbs.
Just hope the head doesn't have to come off......
