    gs 750-850 carbs

    are there any difference between carb kits for 1979 gs750 and gs850g carb kits and what are the best to get and where?

    Hey fellow Albertan

    I think the concensus on here is that carb kits are a waste of money. Get a set of o-rings from http://www.cycleorings.com/ some oem gaskets and a can of carb dip and your good to go.

    Good luck

        I agree. I am now re-assembling my BS-CV carbs. I bought rebuild kits, but found nothing wrong with my original jets, etc. after cleaning. So I am reusing all original parts except gaskets and air adjustment screws - which I am thankful were in the kits. Mine got pretty chewed getting them out. The O rings for tees between the carbs do not come with the kits. So I just bought the kit from cycleorings.com - everything you need.

          Cycle o rings kit including new screws and rings for the intake manifolds.

          Gallon sized can of carb dip

          Generic ebay gaskets for float bowl and top cover.

          Meticulous re-assembly.
