I just need to get one more set of float bowl o-rings, the ones that were in there were really dried out.

I thought i replaced those , before i sold them! measure them , thickness and diamiter , ill see what i got or can dig up and ill mail them to ya bro!
asap! about to leave for work , got a kz 1300 1982 i have to clean the carbs on today and rejet a suzuki madura gv 700 .

Nah, don't worry about it. When I rebuilt the old ones I found that I can get the same O-rings from Ace Hardware in their 'assortied' package. Two packages will do all four carbs, and cost about $6.

You probally -did- replace them, but I've had them for at least 6 months with them sitting high and dry. They look like they just dried out. I pulled the float bowls off and the float assemblies just dropped out.

I did replace the jet needles and needle jets with the brand new ones out of the other carbs, the needles in the new ones are a bit longer but also a little thinner, and seem to work fine. I kept your massive 120.5 jets in there, since mine were 096s.

Heading out now to get the o-rings, gonna get back and charge the battery. Hopefully I'll have a report tonight on how it worked!

Um, Jay.... you did replace them. They're in my 32mms now.

The one's in Maniac's 33s are my old ones which were totally shot. (I did explain that to Todd b/f he bought them).

Sounds interesting. I'll pay extra if you can get a topless hottie to do the valve job.

Oh yeah... forgot about that. Heh. Well, I spent $2.00 and got all the orings I need from Ace.

got that front end on yet maniac?

Maniac · « **Reply #23 on:** June 10, 2005, 08:54:38 PM »

Not yet.

I just got the bike running again, I wanted to make sure it would before I started really wrenching on it. Just need to figure out a few more minor problems with the carbs (surging, high idle).

To be honest, I'm half considering just getting her running and selling her with all the parts I've got. I just don't really have the time, money, or place to work on it.

that would be a shame but first dibs on my carbs back!

GSXR, I'd definitely be interested in such a project. Things that I think would be interesting are carb rebuilds, gsxr upside down front fork install, gsxr rear shock install, aftermarket pipe/header install with info on rejetting, general info on motor rebuild would be a plus. Hope that you are able to get it off the ground. Good luck!

there is a Harley DVD with gigantic naked breasts handing tools to a clumsy mechanic that tells you the wrong way to change the belt on your Harley. Its got all the bad boring low quality video of nipples you can handle. I haven't seen it myself, so i can't verify if the women are hot.

If you have winamp there is a streaming station that shows jamaican biker babes hot straddling japanese sport bikes like they were pro strippers. One set has girls in tandem. Burnouts and lap dances at the same time... and its free

sorry to get off topic

There's an entire series called "Topless Tune-up". It includes topless tune-ups for harely's, sports bikes, and dirt bikes (on different dvd's). You can check 'em out at http://toplesstuneup.com/gsx1000/index.htm. No bandit 400 dvd as of yet...

Hopefully Jay will pull through!
