Title: What the heck is this carb bit and why don't I have one?
Post by: mennobike on November 11, 2014, 04:20:44 AM
So I was just browsing old posts, trying to get to know the bike better, and I stumbled across this: (http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/nascarkeith/GS500F/carb006.jpg)

I distinctly remember having the needle when I tore down my carbs (sort of have to) but I also distinctly remember not having that other piece. Is that something I should be concerned about?

Thanks!

Depends if you have the older 2 circuit or newer 3 circuit carbs. Not if you have the older carbs.

Ahhh, yeah I have a '97. Suppose I should have thought of that sooner.

Thanks!
