Title: Broke a piece off my carb - what is it?
Post by: chillysword on April 04, 2013, 12:53:57 PM
So I took the carbs off my '06 GS500F to rejet and clean them. When putting everything back together I noticed I broke the plastic nub off the piece highlighted in the picture. Does anyone know what that hose is for and if it's needed? The hose runs down to a sensor of some kind that is underneath the float bowl.

I haven't been able to find it on any of the diagrams on the wiki. This is a canadian bike if it makes any difference.

Thanks for any help.

I suppose. I took them apart to see what was inside - really! I did that about 2 years ago. I think toogoofy has the carb drain screws. Someone else has the slides. Someone else has one cap.
So sure - you can have the whole box-o-stuff if you want it.
$20 sound OK?

Hey Adidas, would you be able to mail the parts? I'm in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. All I really need at this point is the part in the pic below, but if you'd rather just get rid of the whole box that's cool too.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I can mail what you need. if you don't need the other parts, I can hold on to them fro when someone else needs something. If you need more, let me know what parts you want.
PM me your info and mailing address.
I'll let you know what postage is. Probably cost you $5 or so. (I never sell parts for what they are really worth)

Don't tempt me. I don't want to be a moderator, but what would happen if I put it up to a vote?

And I just turned this into a cat thread.

No biggie. Want to pm me what I owe you and how you want payment when you find out how much shipping will be?

Thanks

Nah. Weed doesn't strike me as bat-shaZam! crazy. Maybe crazy like Chevy Chase in any of the National Lampoon's movies...but not bat-shaZam! crazy. :cheers:
