First off. This is a sweet build. Thanks for the pics. As for carbs I agree with everything you said; except the fun factor takes a nose dive if they dont work after you button the whole thing up!

[badguy]

Can't wait until I can put mine back together...

[kyle_99_gtp]

This build is amazing. That's all I can say.

Great work.

Hey if you want to play around with crazy carb stuff talk to Jesse at Kientech racing about different DR350 carbs.  They're the same carb as the GS but theres a couple different models including some crazy mechanical advance stuff on the 97+SE models AND he knows some cool tricks for milking the last bit of HP out of them.  He's considered one of the gods of the DR350.  Imagine if he and Buhda made some bastard child... it'd be like the Chuck Norris of carbs! 

BTW: Your bike (and PsyberOptix's) is one of the most beautiful lightly modified GS500's I've ever seen.  It gives me wood man, I swear!  Lol, seriously your bike was one of the deciding factors on my build.  I can post pix if you wanna see.

If those rotors stop as good as they look you're going over the handlebars

Well, I guess I was scared for no reason.  I have had the carbs sitting on the bench n the hobby room for months cause I was hesitant to tear into them.  After doing it now though, I don't know why I waited.  I had more fun learning about the carbs than I have had building the bike.  They are really easy when you get down to the brass tacks, or brass jets, lol.

First bowl.



O-rings were crunchy, lol.


New rings.



All clean.


New main, the previous owner had a 140 in there.  So the 150 is in now.


It was with this picture that I realized how every manufacturer did/does carbs on a parallel engine.  They simply make 2 or 4 and put em together, that is it, lol.  (I am joking)


The throttle bodies were pretty clean I thought.


Looks like a little exhaust blow back.

Cleaned both the choke slides.


The other bowl was even cleaner?!



Thee o-rings were toast though.


Ready for a carb cleaning bath.


Random pic.


All the goods.  The diaphragms were very soft still and no tears either.


All clean.


All cleaned, re-jetted, buttoned up and ready for new fuel lines. 


So, what I learned, do your own carbs people.  It really is that easy.  I had fun learning about the way they work. 

Laters,
Jon

Dude, I have to say TY. The attention to detail of the photos and description of what you are doing! I wish Buddha had a bank of pictures like this to refer to when he explains things.

I agree, but quoting 19 pictures in a thread is pretty annoying.

A portable phone!  Man you're lucky...try it on a home phone 

Sorry, I'm just mad because I came in here expecting an update, haha.

Well, in the next day or so Colorado is finally hitting the 40's for highs.  So, I will be playing in the garage.    Damn cold winter so far.....................
