1982 gs650g problem

You will really need to get the carbs fully seated in the rubber boots that connect to the engine head, otherwise it will be too lean and not start or run. I know they are a pain but try spraying a little silicone lubricant on boots (or WD40), they will slide in better. I find it easiest to push in and the wiggle them up and down to get them to seat right.

Just a quick tip, I wrestled my carb boots and airbox boots today. I found that even though I loosened up the clamps a lot, I didn't loosen them up enough. It really takes loosening them up almost to the point of where the come completely undone. Then the carbs just slip right in nicely. The clamps can be deceiving.

The WD40 will eventualy dry up. I used a very light film of grease so that next go around they might slip off easier.

Hi Mr. LowellGS,

No floats, no rubber parts. Everything else. Don't forget to take out the mixture screw too. Its under the cap and has an O-ring that gets replaced. See the carb rebuild series.

Ok well. I did the carbs.. I messed up and need to do a better job. So i need to order those kits i think.. make everything easier in the long run. Only thing is, is that a few of the screws are siezed in there., also i noticed that where the float pin pass throug in carb 2 is broken off.. Like the hole broke off.. My buddies father mickey moused a new "loop" with small gauge wire.. Looks ok..still works
Is this even work fixing or should i pick up a used pair of carbs?

Anyone know where i can buy the boots for both sides of the carbs.. can't seem to fine them anywhere....

I picked up a set of calipers as well to get the shim measurements.

As for the broken post I wouldnt trust it to work properly. Id ask around on here for anothe carb body for that one. As for the kits about the only thing they are good for is the float bowl gaskets.

This is getting expensive..

The 2nd link does not work

So do i need 4 #2s and 4 #3s? from the first link

[kparkfan]

no just 2 of each. 2 are for the inside and 2 are for the outsides of the air box. Just use that same link and clinck the link for the cylinder head ad the other boots are on there. They are $23 and some change.

[LowellGS]

This is probably going to be a while out.. Hopefully i can get a new set of carbs quickly.. I'm going to have to check at a local junkyard.

thanks for that link, they have everything i need.

Try ripping the metal base from the rubber, clean-up and "plastic-steel" the parts back together.
Weigh them down with your battery overnight while drying.
But maybe, they're "CRAZIER THAN ME?"

Drying with battery on-top

I'm more worried about how much new carbs are going to cost me.
