Well I ended up having to drill another access hole to push pin through. Spring is good. One of the dog ears that hold the pin in snapped off and is now long gone. Looks like a replacement is in order.

I am trying to figure out how this comes apart due to the left side extremely loose and possibly the spring broke inside. There is a pin holding the latches on, but cannot see any way of tapping it out. Thanks

Old thread. However, was this issue ever resolved?

Just curious what everyone who has done the conversion, has done to eliminate the difference in size as pictures show? Cannot come up with anything to fill the gap and just looking for some ideas. Thanks

Picture is for reference. I am not sure if the carbs on an 86 Venture Royale would have these. Just curious as my XJ650 has these and were dried out causing an air leak. If the carbs do have the seals on my Venture, I am looking for a supplier.

Where can one find replacements... Thanks

I kind of figured it wasnt a replacable part. I cannot find a listing for it anywhere, so I am just going to leave it alone. Thanks

Evening, While cleaning things up and changing plugs, I noticed both plug boots are melted on cyl 1 & 3. I can purchase OEM, but am wondering what would be considered a good aftermarket brand (NGK)? I have found a few posts regarding this issue, but nothing really listed with any brands being used or the pros and cons. I have found some NGK 5KOhm boots on FortNine for under $10CDN each. Thanks

Morning everyone, I was removing carbs yesterday to do a thorough cleaning. Upon removal I heard a snap, but didn't see anything obvious, at first. Once fully removed I noticed one of the drain hoses lying on floor. The hose nipple snapped off the #1 carb drain. I cannot locate a part number for this anywhere. Do these just pull out, or unscrew from there location? I could possibly glue it back together if I can remove the piece without further damage. Thanks

Been here a few weeks .... just purchased a new to me 86 XVZ1300DS. I have been purchasing and rebuilding 80s Yamaha motorcycles, ATVs, and trikes for about 10 years. This will be the largest and my last bike to rebuild. Hoping to get it running and take many long trips, once all this craziness is over with in this world. Glad to be here
