1979 Suzuki GS750LN Carb Calibration HELP!

[craywm]

Hey I have been trying to find this info everywhere! I would like to find the factory/manual settings for both the air mixture screw and the mysterious screw on the bottom of the VM Mikuni Carbs on my 79 GS. I recorded my turns but I didnt know if someone had messed with these carbs previously before me.

PS- This is a carb rebuild project to get my GS up and running. Already have everything apart just wanted to double check these measurements!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi Mr. craywm,

It's common practice to start with the fuel screw .75 turns out and the air screw 1.5 turns out. Use the "highest idle method" to adjust from there. To rebuild your VM carbs, you'll find a handy guide here on the mainpage of this website and a copy on my little website. You should also pick up a set of O-rings from Robert Barr @ http://cycleorings.com. You'll find all this, and more, collected on my little website.

Let me share some more GS lovin'.
