CV carb breakdown?

[cockneyrick]

I am after a exploded view of the CV carbs from a GS1000E 1980 model.

The one that I have is from Alpha Sports & is so out of focus it is very hard to ID the parts!!

Basically I have 2 sets & am making a good set out of both as the air screws are jammed in one set & the other set are in poor shape dirt wise.

Another issue I have is that in the float chamber there is an Ally blanking disc at the top & one set has nothing between this & the float gasket. However, the other set has 2 of 4 with a flat grommet between the disc & the gasket roughly the same size as the disc. Everyone i've spoke to says theirs doesn't have any, but the rebuild kits I have (4) 2 have them & I don't know what to do with them?

Many thanks, Rick.

Check the GSR home page for the carb rebuild tutorial, it will explain how to tear down the carbs.

Those rubber donut seals are not commonly included in rebuild kits and the parts fishe is not clear on them either. I recently rebuilt a set of carbs and didn't replace them. The carbs don't leak so I think it's okay but I'd replace them if you have some.

Pretty sure the rubber donuts are just there to ensure the aluminum plugs don't fall out.

You make a good case to have them!

Surely the float gasket & the bowl itself will stop that happening anyway

Gonna have areal good look at that carb disassembly, Cheers matey

Dunno, but the last 1000 that I got for a song was missing one, just an open hole from the float chamber to the venturi, you can guess what that one ran like. Oddly, it was not loose in the bowl, so someone else was in there and didn't find the problem, just lost the little plug?
Fine with me, I got a great bike out of the deal!
