    Pilot jet plug

    Disassembling my carbs to figure out my bikes inability to idle. Im assuming clogged idle jet. Im referencing some pictures(shown below) and neither of my carbs have this plug over the pilot jet as shown in the picture attached. Anyone think this might have something to do with my idle problems?
    Ill be posting up a load of pictures of my carb work for the next guy with a gs250.

    If those plugs are missing it will definitely cause a problem.

      Not just the idle system, missing plugs will wreak havoc with the rest of the systems, too.

      They are available from many sources for a buck or two each.

        Thanks a ton guys. Just did a quick check on bike bandit and flatout and im not to positive on which part i need.



        Under the pilot jet(#13) there isnt anything that looks to go with it. But to the left of the main jet is part (#16) called a gasket. Is this what im looking for?

        'edit'
        Found the part for a larger bike, gs750 1981.


        anyone know if part #39 would fit my carbs (posted above)

          That part should fit, but don't know for sure unless you take a measurement of the ID of the pilot jet aperture so we can check for you. I have a new set at home I can measure for you (I am at work now).

                        Hey, Don, if that match stick has only been used once, I might be interested in it. Hope you see this before Bill does.
