A local shop broke this part (pictured below) while trying to hammer in the emulsion tube instead of just manually pressing it in. A replacement is not available from Suzuki. The repair shop initially promised to locate a replacement but that was two months ago. Please help.
The part is a plastic guide for the flat throttle slide in one of the carburetors. The emulsion tube/needle jet is also pressed into this guide. The plastic guide is held in place with 2 secure-Torx screws. The throttle bores are 34mm. The numbers stamped on the side of the Mikuni carburetors are 48801 E7804. I believe the carburetor bodies are the same for the 1988-1993 GSX1100F models, as they are for the 1986-1988 GSX-R1100 models, but I'm not certain.
I have been e-mailing salvagers all over the world, but no one seems willing to part-out a set of good carburetors. Any suggestions for locating a replacement part?
I have tried gluing the part back together but nothing seems to work. ABS and PVC solvents have no effect, and epoxies won't stick.
Also, I am reassembling the carburetors myself. There are 2 main jet sizes: 110 & 112.5. Are the 110's for cylinders 2 & 3, or 1 & 4?
Thanks for any help,
