    Rejetting a '77 gs400

    I have a '77 gs400 and cant find a jet kit. It has stock carbs (BS34's)- PO put on a 2-1 exhaust and replaced the airbox with a single pod and pvc tee fitting(sprayed black of course) connected to the carbs. it has never been rejetted. Not sure where to start. Does the 1-2 pcv/pod airfilter function basically like the stock, or would I need "stage 3" (wouldnt mind mind ditching it and installing 2 pod filters, though)

    any tips/ suggestions for rejetting my bike or links to where I can get the appropriate kit?

    Thanks

    for a starting point here are the stock specs:
    main jet #112.5
    pilot jet # 22.5
    jet needle #4f23-3 (I havent been able to find this one on the replacement charts, is there a newer number?)
    -ring on the middle clip


    Thinking I should lower the ring one notch
    main jet- around 120 if I have 2 pods, maybe 117.5 if I stay with the single?
    open the air screw about 1 turn ....all just a guess.

            Try Sudco.

            They have a PDF that has pictures and dimensions of all the Mikuni jets etc. so that should help you work out if you can get them or not...

              A BS carb is a BS carb - the jets are all the same standard
