      From the data that I have available, the STOCK jetting was:
      USA model 1981 1100E
      107.5 main jet
      45 pilot fuel jet

      Canadian 1983 1100E
      112.5 main jet
      47.5 pilot fuel jet

      Not sure if the US changed the jetting from '81 to '82 or '83, but the Canadian version is definitely a bit richer.

        From what I get from BassCliff's charts is the '82 GS1100EZ is supposed to have a 110 main jet and a 45 pilot fuel jet, for some reason the '83 has a
        112.5 main jet with a 45 pilot fuel jet, but the '83 Canadian model has a
        47.5 pilot fuel jet. (I need to check the parts fische and see if it lists different part numbers for the '82 & '83 main jets, can't understand why those would be different as the two bikes are almost the same, unless it was to try to get rid of the "lean" condition the '82 was known for)
        I made a temporary air cleaner box cover and ran the bike some 100+ miles today, (thanks Florida), it ran strong, I'm sure by the high fuel consumption it is running rich, probably because No. 3 cylinder has a crushed washer under the main jet and it is leaking badly, spark plug badly carboned up.
        Good news is I have the parts, and a new air cleaner cover is on the way.
