All the parts on my carb came apart quite easily, plus I sometimes think I have the early stages of altzheimers :-). Maybe you can soaking the parts in carb cleaner will help.

I'll mail you an exploded diagram

Thanks Alex, I saw your email.

I have an exploded diagram, it's just that my needle jet didn't just drop out like every one says it should. Maybe it needs some encouragement.

Thanks very much also to Howie for the offer of tools, BMWRSNUT for lending me a few of his, Paladin & BMWST? for coming round saturday and putting up with me while I was grossly disorganised, and Andy Mac for coming over Sunday and not getting grumpy at frustratingly tiny little screws in tiny cramped spaces that don't line up.

Sounds like a grammy acceptance speech.......

Had a ride on Eddie B's Air head & Balrogs 1150 over the weekend & loved them. Def would have an old gs in the shed if I won lotto. I loved the sideways movement of the bike when starting & the low stable feeling of them.

Maybe I'll have to get Topo to let me borrow one of his

Only if you can catch him, or his old man on it, the old boy went past me like I was standing still, on the way down to Anatori, he can really ride.

You know you want to.

He's not giving away much info is he.I don't think he really wants to sell it but is made to.

BTW Eddie I was thinking your gs would look cool with some german markings like it was straight out of WWII. It kinda reminds me of something used for the desert warfare. Was Rommel a pom or nazi?

We're already on that. the Afrika Korps logo with some suitable changes would suit we reckon.
