    Ok so i ordered the basic carb rebuild kits for my 1980 maxim xj650. the carbs were already syncd but i ended up having 2 leaky gaskets and bowls overflowwing. Now if i just replace the items on the carbs with the new stuff that came in the mail, will it off set the sync and have to be redone ? thank you for any help you can give me, i need this bike running badly so i can find some work.

    The metal disc is to cover your pilot screws when you're done so you get the pleasent task of drilling out later. The oring is a replacement for the one under the pilot screw.

    My metal discs go in the trash.
