    carb ID and rebuild advice/help

    Personally, I would split the bank. And after removing the carb tops the slides will come out easily. The butterflies will remain in situ. Inbetween 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 is an alloy piece for the fuel feed with O'rings that often perish. Between 2 & 3 is a t-piece with the same o'rings. You will have to split the bank to inspect these. The screws holding the bank together on the bars can be difficut to remove due to corrosion so make sure you have a correct fitting screwdriver. Often you'll need to use an impact driver but if so make sure you support everything well with bits of wood or it could all end in tears. When the carbs are in bits use correctly fitting screwdrivers, esepcially on the brass bits. Once you have dismantled and rebuilt a set of carbs you'll realise it's all pretty straightforward for the next set. Oh, and when removing the float pivots be very careful. Often people resort to using a small punch or drift to get them out which will break the mounting posts unless supported. Happy carb work:)

    probably the most help im gonna get with this! nervous to do it, probably gonna break it, but you dont learn if you dont try i guess. in two minds as to wether to send them off to be professionally done but its more money.... parts are expensive enough!!!

    Nothing to be worried about.  Keep individual parts with the carb they came out of ... particularly the slides. Use plenty carb cleaner ( some types aren't compatible with o rings, so remove them), and compressed air. Things start to get harder if you split the carbs from the rack. If you've an Ultrasonic Cleaner, use it! Get stuck in! (y)

    so leave the sliders and bars in place you reckon?

    Wash them with paraffin first. They look so minging I doubt they will come apart without a fight but you may be lucky. As said above use a decent fitting screwdriver or the screws will mash easily. One think to keep in mind is the float bowl gaskets may stick and become damaged when the bowls are removed and OEM replacements, as with all carb parts, cost a lot and everything is x4.

    so its really not a job for a novice?

    Are you confident the wires are going to the correct places?

     

    If your getting light with a direct feed then I would suggest one of those cables is in the wrong place or your earth is not good. 

     

    Failing that if it's original wiring cables coukd have corroded 

    Es front wheel

    Chaps

     

    Are there any bigger wheels that work as a direct replacement to the standard 16" on an 83 es or would I breaching caliper to disc sizing...

    Need to put something bigger on the front, an 18 would be great but have a feeling I may need to change fork setup to achieve this.

     

    Feeling very noob right now so look forward to some advice

    Quick one 

     

    Yokes seem to fit fine, steering stem too, top bearing seems solid but bottom bearing has play, compete 360 movement 

     

    Is it easier to fit a gs set of yokes or am I missing a trick here.....

     

    Gs1000 is 1979 and gsx750 is 1983

     

    Thanks

    If you take tne one from the opposite side down to your local bolt shop then you will soon get sorted.

    It's at the front dude there is one bolt that goes through the crankcase housing. If I had one I could take to a shop I'd be sorted sadly I don't not

    Because I'm an idiot I've lost the bolt for the engine mount at the front 

     

    I've looked on a few sites but everywhere seems to have no stock.

     

    Does any good soul know where I might get one ? Or even the sizing so I could source
