Title: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: The Buddha on April 11, 2008, 12:31:31 PM
Whole carbs
89-00 - $45 and return shipping for carbs.
01+ - $50 and return shipping.

Jets only:
$25 shipped for 89-00.
$25 shipped for 01+ without mids, $33 with mids, overseas shipping $2 more.

Remember, these do not include O rings, needles, floats, anything really other than a light clean and rejet.

Drilling out stuff is extra $5 per thing that needs to be drilled. Brass caps on air screws are free but I cant guarantee the spigots wont get scraped etc in the process. Brass is a lot harder than cast aluminum and if you are unlucky the aluminum can split, crack, or get nicked while drilling the brass.

These are going to be done on a bench and lightly tested for leaks or other errors and then sent back. Now, if you have a specific issue please name it in a note, I will follow up and check it more thoroughly and tell you.

Remember this not a carburetor rebuild. I could do that but it will be well over $100 on top of jet costs. Swapping out 1-2 O rings pretty much is what all I have had to do so far on even the worst set of carbs. - Please see note on the bottom about this.

I also dont open the choke unless requested and paid for. 99% of carbs have good working chokes. Unless you tell me to open and clean it and pay for it, its going to stay in the carb.

I synch them by eyeball. if they have been synched already tell me, or if they look like they're in synch, I dont touch it.

Weird crap costs more - not just $$ but also time ... like DJ screw up's or busted pilot jet housing or leaks at the butterfly pivot etc etc ...
I have parts off other similar carbs, but when I am out of those, I will have to locate them some where and it takes time.
That is all I have so far on this, but I make it up as I go along.

Having said all this, in over 100 carbs, I am yet to lose a single one. I have brought back atleast 4 carbs from death and am working on the 5th.

Cool.
Buddha.

I might as well add to this.
Swapping O rings - I should do it as required, and How is $2 per pair of O rings that need to be swapped.
Usually float spigot and top O rings go, but of late I have swapped out float retaining O rings and the guide base O ring as well.
Maybe I should add a charge for opening the choke section too.
Then there is the breakables that may need replacing on the ocassional carb. On an as needed/available basis.

Cool.
Buddha.

suzukimx4789 - Jets - as well as carbs - you have to tell me what you want - AKA what your setup is (filter and pipe). And no I dont drill stock jets. You'd have 122.5 with a larger hole in it, and you may forget a few years down the road and it will give you all sorts of confusion. I buy jets - they are marked and sized right and very consistent in their sizes, and they are under $4 a piece. No sense possibly screwing up you guys for that. And yes I have 150's for the 89-00 sitting in a box.

Guitarking - So yea I can rejet for a pipe as well as send you jets for a DIY.
DJ repair - ha ha, I usually take them off and charge you for needles, so

Bucks1605 - $55 and shipping ... unless you drilled the slides ... that will cost ya plenty more, but if you just put 1 plug in it, you can run it that way wiht stock needle. I believe the stock needles less severe taper lets the slide work better with 1 or 2 holes.

Jay_wolf - I can ship to europe, just dont want to take the extra risk, paper work and time but OK I'll do it, and of course you pay for the extra shipping. And yea no funky money with your face on it ... USD only ...  O0 ...

Hey, I should make stickers that say - "Jets by The Buddha" in some cool lettering and have that go with the thing huh ...
Cool.

Of course I drilled the slides! I was an idiot and followed their directions to a T. I drilled 2 holes in each slide and put in 2 plugs and it ran like shiz. So i pulled one of the plugs and now it runs better, but still not perfect. I still have the stock needles and jets.

Bucks - I have the slides, after so many moons of looking for it I recently found some, I have a pack of 4 I liberated from these 33's off a katana. I'd sell you a pair for $20.
Tang - I dont drill anything other than the caps on the air screws. Or sheite that is stuck and stripped. Slides - my method needs slides that are intact. So I dont touch the holes in them.
Jay_wolf - yes, I always encourage people to help themselves - that is what the Buddha is all about.
Cool.

Hey Buddha,

I got some slides & gulides, diaphrams from you back a month or so and after I replaced them ! I still have the same Bogging?? their was not much change, up to 6500RPM.
my plugs look good changed three times with test runs, and now it Boggs out when you crack the throttle fast?..  :icon_confused:.. sould this be the fuel valve? Running
on prime- makes no change in the problem, I just filled up with 89 oct, and added gas booster,a Month back when I took down the carbs ! there was rust in them stuck in the top's, found some holes in the diaphrams,
Did a total cleaning put in the parts I got from you after cleaning them, After putting all together & I made the 1 GAL, test tank & tided it in the main gas line ! & Ran great
at first. Put bike tank on, changed plugs started right up! But Ran no better? & Riding it up a hill as slower then a schooter? the speed drops 60 to 48 fast?? & I put a in line
filter & it is still clean :icon_confused: :icon_confused: p51 mustang..

Oh yea, there is no reason the 01 carbs will work better than the 89-00. 89-00's are easier to fix up as well.
Cool.
Buddha.

P51mustang - You have fuel supply issues ??? how is your tank venting and hose routing. Make small changes and check it. How does it run without air filter, how about without air box. Yea your exhaust has a possum crawled up inside and pitched tent for winter ??
1 at a time bro it all has to be cleaned up.
Cool.

Hey Buddha,

This is what I've done checked petcock! it's a new one?.The suzuki shop put on. Used carb cleaner all through the carbs cleaning them .Put new gas lines on, put a in line gas filter! The filter like mealted from the onside :dunno_white: took filter to shop to get my 4.00 bucks or a new one! No Go they don't warranty filters, They have a brass one for 20.00 ? But do I need realey IT ? And  said the tech in 30 Yrs
He has never seen a gas filter do that & some Bikes don't Run good with a inline filter!!Took carbs back apart set the float hight to 14.6mm- Right side was low at 12.2mm. Checked the carb mounts to Engine and found gas leak at seal, removed and the rubber O- ring was cracked, & mounts are dirty as crapp, with them off you can see the intake valves Black & Gunked up!! Buddha have you used Sea foam to clean a Engines insides? If so how much per Gal.?
Still looking for the Possum, :) They say the F1s is hard too get jetted right? and I'm going to put a K&N lunch box on in a week or so!! PS on 4th set of test plugs they look
good! by the book?..
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: The Buddha on April 18, 2008, 03:59:40 AM
Carbon in the valves isn't bad. Anyway, all the dry rotted rubber ... yea you're gonna have to replace. Then the gas leak, air leak, oil leak ... all of those are bad  :laugh: ...
Else you just gotta stay with it. K&N and F1 pipe do 150 mains. Now you asked for 150 or 125 ... dont recall ... but anyway, yea floats have to be right on both, and clean etc etc.
Cool.

Well what did you ask for last month. That was what I put in, may need to check before you just buy more jets, oh wait a sec ... I send you slides, guides and stuff, not jets ... then forget it, you need a whole rejet package 40/150/washer and float bowl bolts.
Cool.

Yea I got slides & glides, Diaphrams. from you ! after I put them in there was no change in proformance, A Tech at the Suzuki shop cut me a deal on 150 jets K&N Lunch B,
4-#4 washers, & 2 new carb intake boot O-Rings,and 4 more plugs.So when the K&N comes in, & O-Rings then I can get to IT..
But my next door friend needs her lawnmower rebuilt, I'm hoping it will only be carb cleaning & plug & gas lines?? never know :laugh: what you find could just be out of Gas??
next I've got to paint the House :cry:, Man I hate latters !! Anyway my Bike gets pushed down the list! Not cool.. mustang

Post by: Fry on April 24, 2008, 03:33:48 AM
Buddah I think way back when when jetting the GS I used a Dynojet kit and believed I had to drill something out perhaps the slides the more I think about it?

It appears I also did something to the small brass circular plugs in the carbs body?

How will this affect future jetting changes I'll need to make when using  a Lunchbox.

Thanks for your time./

Tang - you have to drill out the brass caps ... unless you're hoping someone did that on yours already ... if that is the case, and your pilots and screws on the top and bottom are all good ... yea ... you've escaped the drill. Yes I can sell you all the jets washers, bolts knowledge (that is free though  :thumb: ... and may be worth exactly what you pay for it  :cookoo: ) etc.

Fry - brass caps gotta go so no problem there, slide having 1 hole blocked is OK, blocking 1 and closing the other partially can be bad, but may be ok. DJ requires you to do that though due to their stupid ass steeply tapered needles ...
BTW DJ's 134 is supposedly for the pipe and K&N clamp on ... if you got it, run and try it. The other dude just made out good with 140 mains. Get that if DJ 134 isn't good.

Cool.

What's up?  I got a quick question and didn't want to start yet another thread about rejetting.

I have my carb out to clean and decided I want to go ahead and rejet it while I'm at it, since it runs so lean I have a hard time unchoking it at times.  Not cool since I'm moving north to Chicago in a couple weeks.  So...I have an '02 and I'm running an aftermarket exhaust--not a high performance, but better than stock--and a drop-in K&N.  From what I was reading, I was thinking of going with a pilot 20, a mid 62.5, and main 142.  Anyone have any other thoughts?

Other than a good cleaning, is there anything else I should do to get a little more performance out of her?

Where can I get the jets from quickly?  I need a fuel line too, I busted one of the tank to petcock lines pulling the tank.  I'd like to get them ASAP.  All of the dealers here are closed Sunday and Monday.

:cheers:
JT

Post by: The Buddha on April 26, 2008, 07:25:16 PM
K&N drop in and pipe is 130 or 132.5 mains. I'd do 130's, the Rest is fine.
Cool.
Buddha.
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: jt_234 on April 27, 2008, 07:29:51 AM
Thanks.  It runs very lean, should I go with the 132.5s?

What's the best source to get them from?   Do you sell them?

:cheers:
JT
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: The Buddha on April 28, 2008, 07:21:12 AM
You bump up mid mains too, then 130 should be fine, 132.5 maybe if you leave mids stock. Hey I actually should get an 01-02 carb set working on a bike before I start explaining the differences between up 1 on mids vs Needles by 1 washer vs mains by 1.
That difference is too subtle for me to really know cos I never did it and run it the way I did with the 89-00.
I dont have 132.5 mains, I should be able to get them, but It may take longer for me than you. But I actually had a trip to the bike shop that I forgot to ask them completely about jets for 01+.
I will be going to the store again in 1-2-3 days. I will look.
Cool.

Yours is 01+ ... I am still working on buying stuff for it. Prolly more $$ on both, there is a whole extra set of jets. The idea I have is you can do needles and get away without mids, but no idea for sure.

Mine's the 02, but I found all the jets (20/62.5/130's) at my dealership.  I paid $36 and I got an extra set of pilot 20's (I had to buy four--go figure) if anyone needs them. 

Bike runs well, but am leaking fuel out of left carb.  I pinched the gasket when I put it back together, so I pulled it and I used permatex to put it back together.  I still haven't tested it, lettting it sit for a day and a half.  Berto said that it shouldn't happen regardless, but the bike was on the side stand.  It doesn't have a center stand and I'm too poor to buy a bike jack (yet). 

So, my question, does it sound like the carbs need synched too?  I noticed when I had the carb apart and upside down the floats didn't sit at the same level, but didn't think anything of it.  Do the floats need adjusted?  How do I adjust them?

You pinched the float gasket ... and you used permatex ... permatex what silicone ... then hell no, never use silicone. I use gasket maket from permatex, but not when you tear the gasket. I just use it to shore up a marginal gasket. The gasket is torn, you're going to have to replace it.

Yeah, it was the blue Permatex RTV Gasket Maker, which I think has silicone. 
(https://gstwins.com/gsboard/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shop.undermycar.com%2Fimages%2F1171917594750-1306779499.jpeg&hash=06534fb47f654239c14ec448147722105bf492a8)
I put two slices in the gasket, I didn't cut all the way through it.
Do you think it would be fine to use it to fill in the two spots?  Or which one do you use that you're talking about?
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: jt_234 on May 03, 2008, 07:55:20 PM
I found the permatex you were talking about--permatex form-a-gasket non-hardening (1B)--and touched up the old gasket with it.  Voila, no leaks! 

I definitely saw why you shouldn't use the silicone.  I didn't run any gas through the carb after I used the silicone, let it sit for 2 days, and with just the residual gas it had been eaten up.

I got the bike back together with the new jets today and its running great...although, I tore the second fuel line today  :mad:  I tore the other one when I first took the tank off and I replaced it with a heavier line, but I don't think I can fit two of those on it.  Trying to fight the clamp onto the second line past the heavy line is what caused me to tear it in the first place.  Off to find fuel line tomorrow.  If anyone has any ideas on universal replacement fuel line with the small external diameter like the stock line, let me know.

Post by: The Buddha on May 05, 2008, 11:17:36 AM
Well, glad to know it got sorted out ... I usuallyt never check this site weekends ...  :o
Fuel line - I buy tygon fuel line, I have a large roll of it ... just ebay it. Its common on other vehicles ... like hobby aircraft.
Now I am still pretty apprehensive about running with a nicked float gasket, but I dont see how it can get any worse really with gasket maker. I still would be using it very sparingly.
Cool.

Well, glad to know it got sorted out ... I usuallyt never check this site weekends ...  :o
Fuel line - I buy tygon fuel line, I have a large roll of it ... just ebay it. Its common on other vehicles ... like hobby aircraft.
Now I am still pretty apprehensive about running with a nicked float gasket, but I dont see how it can get any worse really with gasket maker. I still would be using it very sparingly.
Cool.
Buddha.



Yeah, Saturday I ordered the Tygon from Ebay.  I looked everywhere for it here--Home Depot, Lowes, hobby shops, auto stores--but no luck finding it.  I bought a used center stand for my bike too--$21 shipped.  :thumb:  Better than $60 for a cheap bike jack.

I just need to get my air and idle adjusted once I get the new fuel lines on and I'll be back in business.

I might as well add to this.
Swapping O rings - I should do it as required, and How is $2 per pair of O rings that need to be swapped.
Usually float spigot and top O rings go, but of late I have swapped out float retaining O rings and the guide base O ring as well.
Maybe I should add a charge for opening the choke section too.
Then there is the breakables that may need replacing on the ocassional carb. On an as needed/available basis.
Cool.
Buddha.

4 pairs of O rings, each one labelled as to where they go. Most common O rings needed OK OK 3 are the common ones, and 4th is a little rare. No rebuild kit needed ...unless you need the float gasket.
I have been swapping 2-3 pairs per carb set I been working on of late. In fact the 1 time I didn't it came back to bite me. :o
Cool.

Does the kit include #'s 26,29,34. http://fiche.ronayers.com/Index.cfm/Module/Main/TypeID/26/Type/Motorcycle/MakeID/2/Make/Suzuki/YearID/37/Year/1996/ModelID/6218/Model/GS500E/GroupID/252866/Group/CARBURETOR

How about the oring on the back of the white plastic guide that holds the needle jet?

How many carbs can I rebuild with the kit?

Thanks.

Post by: The Buddha on May 18, 2008, 03:00:09 PM
The 4 are float spigot, float itself, top vacuum spigot and the one under the plastic guide the needle jet drops into. So it does include 26, 29 34 and that other one.
You can rebuild 1 set of carbs ... unless you have 2 sets with complimentary bad O rings.
Of late I am swapping 26, 29 and 34 a lot. 26 and 34 are very very important O rings and they often go bad from sitting. 29 also dies often, but its much less important. That one under the white guide typically isn't prone to dying that much cos its not on a moving part ... but its pretty important.
Cool.

So Buddha are you in NC or Cali? 

Id like you to rejet my carbs and give them a once over and I guess sync them too.  I just bought the bike and am adding a K&N Lunchbox and vance & hines full system so they need to be taken care of.  Along with any adjustment/whatever necessary to get them running great!

Something you can do for me? How should I start the process? Thanks

Oh great Buddha, now that my GS is finally alive and running again, I am going to fit the K&N lunchbox and will need to re-jet. I currently have the standard exhaust on an '89 model and standard jets. The matrix on the Wiki says I will just need 140 mains - do you have those? Will I need anything else, aside from patience and wisdom?
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: The Buddha on June 22, 2008, 07:32:31 PM
Stock pipe and Lunchbox sometimes is not very tunable. People have problems with almost every setup.
Put a pipe on even slip on and its easy to get tuned. Run 150/40/1/3. Else, well lots of advil and patience and what not.
Cool.

Job done - finally !

Fitted Buddha's jet kit, it was nice and easy, and slipped on the K&N lunchbox after a couple of tries.

The test run started OK and sounded good, then it died when hot. Attempted restarts caused monster backfires like a shotgun - luckily, we are out in the country and nobody called the cops. After enough attempts, I flattened the battery. Bugger.

Recharged the battery overnight and tried again, then I had weak sparks coming from the plug bodies and not the electrodes. Hmm, I had a DPR8EA-9 in one side and DR8ES-L in the other. Not good. A matched pair of DPR8EA-9's from the car parts store, for $1.98 each instead of $3.50 each from the Suzuki dealer, did the job tonight. It fired up first time, with clouds of smoke as the correctly firing plugs burned off the accumulated gas and oil from the cylinders for about 5 minutes. A test ride up and down the drive, and she was running sweetly with barely a flat spot anywhere.    :)   :cheers:

Tried to send you a PM but maybe your inbox was full

I have a 2006 GS500F, and live at just about sea level in SOCAL.
I am planning on installing the standard Lunchbox and Pipes. To be perfectly honest, I commute everyday on my bike so, MPG is important to me, but so is having fun in the canyons, etc.
Chances are I will get either the V&H or the Jardine and I want to have the jets on hand.
Would you mind sending the standard sizes for this combination.

If you were in SOCAL, I would just pull the carbs off and send them to you for the install but, as I mentioned, I commute with the bike which means that any more than a weekend of downtime is going to be an inconvenience.

Let me know how you want to do the money, etc.

Buddha, man am I glad to find you.  Ok here is the story.  I bought a 92-93 gs500e been sitting since 03 and in multiple parts.  I cleaned the carbs straight off the bat due to some reason now one knows how to drain bowls when letting a bike sit.  After cleaning to best of my shade tree ability I put the carbs back on got it to fire up.  You have to open the throttle all the way up. It stumbles all over it self and wont rev up at all.  I figure the carbs are shot and need your touch.  I live in VA and was wondering if you have the time??  The bike has stock intake box and a Vance and Hines super sport exhaust on it.  I own a gixxer 600 which I love to ride but GS500 is the first bike I ever rode and when I saw this one I couldnt pass it up.  Also I have done compression check on both cylinders and everything seems good.

Warning - Lunch box (no air box) and V&H = 150/40 - Kit available, send $22 paypal and an address and note in it. I'll have it out in the next 1-2 days.
Souljero - Watch your PM's but yes 01+ kits now in stock. 20/65/147.5 - This is not a setup I ahve tested yet. I may in the next few months, but I am copying off people in this site.
Ranger_kill - Send me carbs not a problem. Some crap is clogged up, but a rejet and ring check/change can solve most of any problems.

Very sorry for the late replies to this thread. After I merged the threads I sorta got confused and never checked it. PM me as you wish though.

Oh, Great Buddha, If you can spare a few minutes I need your guidance:

I'll make this as short as I can.  Bought 1994 GS 500E last year, 5,000 miles ago.  It had new OEM NGK plugs, K&N drop-in filter, and F1 muffler on stock pipes.  Bike ran good, but had flat spot at 5,000 rpm.  Checked plugs in the fall and electrodes were white from running too hot, but no visible wear, gap still in spec.  Decided to put V&H full system on bike and new (same) plugs at the same time.  Flat spot is gone.  Bike runs great.  You think the former owner left the stock jets in or didn't jet-up enough? (the latter is what I'm praying for)  Also, if I gleaned the info from the posts correctly here, my pilot and main jets for my current set-up should be 40 and 130?  If it still has the stock 122.5 mains do you think the plugs will still run too hot, or do you think that would be close enough?  Thanks for your time, and if my plugs tell me they're still running too hot I'll be ordering jets from you.
Title: Re: Rejetting prices, details, and O rings
Post by: The Buddha on March 19, 2009, 01:44:45 PM
OK K&N in airbox and pipe = 127.5 and 40.
You're is running fine possibly because your floats are wearing high.
In the short term it can work, but as you might have realised, it can cause fuel to get too high and over rich it and make it bad as well as send fuel into the airbox and make it lose power and gas mileage.
You with your 61mpg fuelly prolly are not doing that but I'd watch any change in that and start working on setting floats right and getting it jetted right.
Cool.

Hey Buddha

I searched on this problem already and found a ton of help but I wanted to just be clear with my problem and get your specific response.  My cousin bought a 1994 gs500 2 months ago with 1600 miles on it.  It has ran well since he bought it but it did have the hanging idle here and there but would go away for long periods of time.  He said it started to feel sluggish and maybe was hesitating.  I took it for a ride and it had some hesitation 0-1/8-1/4 of a throttle turn.  It didn't hang when I returned to my driveway and it idled great at 1200.  So I took the spark plugz out and they were slightly lean.  I took the tank off and checked the air filter....the air filter is brand new and the spark plugz are as well.  I put the tank back on and BAM! a hellacious hanging idle.  I mean it hangs at 3k-4k and sometimes never drops back down unless you do something to get it back down (idle screw, clutch etc.).  I checked the throttle cable and eliminated that as the cause.  SO I hooked up my aux. gas tank and mercury carb sync.  I synced the carbs and sprayed silicon spray all over the place to see if there was any air leaks.  There were no air leaks.  I backed out my fuel screws to 2.5 turns then backed out and in slowly from there going back and forth between carbs to no avail.  The bike is bone stock BTW.  I took the petcock off the tank and found the normal tiny little particles around the screen.  I took the vacuum petcock apart and found larger pieces of maybe surface rust/gas leftovers.  They were not very large pieces but enough to clog a pilot jet and idle circuit.  I have bowl gaskets and an in line fuel filter on the way.  I was going to clean the carbs, set my fuel screws at 3.75 out (got this from Birdman's post on the hanging idle thread), float level a little above 14.6mm,  bench sync, put back on, merc sync, and check for leaks again.  What do you think?  Thanks for the help.  

John   :cheers:

Post by: The Buddha on June 15, 2009, 06:42:35 AM
You didn't need float gaskets unless they were leaking.

Stock bike works best with a +1 jetting, like they supplied to canada.

40 pilots. 125 mains, 1 washer under needle and 3 turns on mix screws. A pack of that with the button head allen stainless bolts, I sell for $25 shipped for a pair for both carbs ...  :thumb:
Anyway, you could get em from dealer/other too, you need mikuni non bleed 40 pilots, and large round, slotted mikuni mains.
Cool.

Question From Atlanta, Ga!! I have the stock Air Filter (for now) and apperantly a D&D full exhaust system that was added on prior to me buying my 2006 GS500f. I don't see where the pipe would just slip on so this is what causes me to believe its a full system. It runs ok but i've been told that I have to Jet my carbs and replace my air filter to accommodate the exhaust system. Is this true and if so how would you recommend going about doing it. I see a lot of Dyno Jet kits online that require DRILLING and im weary of drilling into my carbs. If its not a bad idea then i'll gladly do so. I know my way around the carbs a little.  :cookoo:  O0

Just jets pretty fast, 2 weeks ... unless you want stuff I dont have on hand. I only got the common GS sizes and types, pm me and I'd discuss what you need and send em out in a few days.
Cool.

edited: how noob of me! i didn't even try to search the thread i was posting in, my apologies haha

have an 04 and she needs a new filter, thinking of getting a k&n lunch box, and will most likely get a vance and hines or similar full exhaust in a couple months.

- rejetting necessary after installing a lunch box?

Sorry about all the delays and BS guys, but see I have had such a weird few months @ work, @ home and even the bloody hobbies, like my mechanic got deported a couple weeks ago, leaving my opened up car literally on the street. It rained, soaked the interior ... cos it had a leak @ the window which I didn;t know about ...

I cant say everything that could go wrong has, seriously it hasn't, but I've been running pillar to post to keep it from entirely falling apart I seriously wonder how or why its not fallen apart ...

I've not touched my bikes in months, the MZ needed a choke plunger o-ringed, the GS needs re assembly after I find its parts ... sadly nothing has happened. If not for parts I send off to you guys and work on yoru carbs I'd not have done any bike stuff ...

Anyway all these above posts have been if not satisfied, atleast hushed up ... I mean no one has sent me $ and I not sent parts (eventually) or a refund if I couldn't. In fact some guys like dirtynailz was patient enough to order parts after I got em in stock.

Sorry to past and future customers, I wont disappear with your parts/$, serious, however response times are pityful, and if I need to get parts etc, make that dismal Squared.

BTW To date I have been sitting on GTEye's carbs for 2+ years. He said he wasn't in a hurry, I stashed em in a corner and forgot ... till he started asking me about it this summer. I hope to get it out in a week.

Cool.
Buddha.

So sorry I have not visited this thread in a while.
Anyway I have all the jet packs sent out, except NorwayGT1's - sorry dude, getting it out in a day or so, I seem to have the 147.5's run off somewhere ... cos my kid dropped the box a few weeks ago and randomly stashed everything back in and went on about his business. Ergo, I have a few baggies under the cabinets etc ...
Anyway jets will be sent ... so will all the rest ...
GTeye: I am planning to yank off the carbs from my bike and send em to you - cos those were run ~8 months ago, 3 years of sitting isn't a slam dunk on carbs, I have to prove it on my bike. These I will send you will be a drop in job for you.
Cool.
Buddha.

Buddha,
I have a 2001 GS500, completely stock. I need a jet kit, and if you have them the o-rings also. Do you include or do I need washers for the needles?
Are you in Charlotte, NC?
If so, may I pick this up in person?
thanks,
Tony P
