thanks for the pic but are you sure that bike has a d-ot head on ?

my 38 rs barely clear, so you reckon the fcr wont fit since theyr taller ?

what size stock carbs, my40mm hit the frame

good day heres the deal, bike is a 1992 gsxr with the original 1127 shortblock and do.t head ported and everything, bike came originally with the 40mm carbs but now im running mikuni 38mm rs with no issues, the other day i removed them for maintenance and went to install the original 40's but they wouldnt fit, they hit the frame under the tank, problem is ihave the carb boots port matched with the head, they would probably fit if i put the 40mm boots on but that would be a big mismatch and it would probably run like crap, question is : since my rs fit perfectly without hitting the frame, would the fcr39 clear ? are they taller ? im asking before dropping 1200$ on carbs that wont fit and cause a huge headache. cheers

Appreciate it bluedog !!

can i bother anyone to measure up their fcr39s for me ? lenghtwise only needed, i was running rs38's on a 1127 with D-ot heads, clearance was tight but i managed to squeeze them after a little bit of tank modding. i wonder if the fcr's will fit before purchasing. measurements will need to be from intake spigots to the very top of the carb and also from top to bottom of carb to check alternator clearance. appreciate any help and effort. cheers

38 flat

Been going at it all day again without any luck. Any idea where i can buy a body for it ?

The thing is these screws are so smooth when turning them sometimes you just cant feel when theyve been seated ! I will try again tomorrow, any tips on how you managed to get it out ? Its really frustrating and i fear ill have to scrap the whole thing. Did you use heat ? Oil ? Any tips seriously mate will take any advice right about now

No mate the needle tip is tapered and will only come off from the bore out towards the bowl so actually im trying to take it out the way its supposed to come out in the first place but it just wont budge !

Ita stuck in the hole im trying to push it down it just wont budge, any ideas how to push it down maybe im doing it wrong

Im trying its not working

Start of season maintenance and checkup and this happened. Looks like water caused it to be jammed. Maybe from washing ? Anyways how can i remove the tip now wiyhout messing up the bodies

Manual for the 38 flatties says std screw setting is 1/8 1/2 maximum. I just want to confirm this. If its the case then its wayyyyyyy different than my cvs which are 2 1/2 turns. I made the mistake of not counting how many turns they were before messing with them

Ok now im confused..
