Title: ...carb parts missing
Post by: Kzin on April 08, 2005, 05:43:57 PM
Crap...Gotta problem.  I am missing some parts in the right side carb on the GS I bought.  I got the carbs out tonight to clean and was going to shim the needles tonight while I am waiting for my jets to arrive so I start on the left side and everything's ok except I dumped the needle out and didn't see the order that the parts went in...looked up a diagram on Ron Ayers and I think I got it right, and was gonna check the right hand side to be sure.  Well...the plastic collar washer and the oring are missing  :x

I can order them from Ron Ayers though so no biggie, but I have to wait for more parts now.  How frustrating.  Just for my peace of mind and so I can sleep tonight...what's the order supposed to be?  Here's how I did it...from the top down:

Plastic Collar Washer/Spring seat
oring
Needle
#4 washer

Goin to order parts....again....Grrr.  Thanks for the help.

Just found another missing oring...this time on the left side, and the diaphram on the right doesn't seem to be the right size.  It's a larger daimeter on the wide end than the groove.  10-1 that a shop had these things apart last.

Oh well time to call it a night... :cheers:

Thanks Cheesy that's how I had it in.  Feel much better now  :)
