Carb OEM specs as per factory manuals

I know about that clip.

Hi, I just posted about this clip, as I have lost one of mine. There is no mention of this part in my factory shop manuel. And none on Ebay this seems to be an unusual item.
The clip holds the needle from falling to far out of the hole. Where it tends to get wedged and sticks open. A tap on the bowel fixes that and since there is usually always fuel in the bowel, no more leak.

could somebody please hepl me with this issue: I am rebuilding my carbs on my gs 550,
with e help of the (godsent tuturioal. I ordered a new set of the float needle assembly, with the same groove as the old ones have, which, on my bike, holds a very thin wire bracket which circumferences the pin. nobody I know , knows anything about this wire, and in the tutorial, even though there is a picture of it with the plastic mesh filter, there is no wire, but the groove is visible here,too. could somebody shed some light on this? regards and thanks for the help,Peter

Will a carburetor off a 85 GS 1150 E work on a 82 GS 1100 E?

Welcome Todd. Might I suggest that you will get a better and faster response if you post a separate question about it?

I'm no expert nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn last night but I would think there will be minor changes in the carb spacing.

Will a carburetor off a 85 GS 1150 E work on a 82 GS 1100 E?

Does anyone have the carb specs for a 1986 GS550ES? It has the siamese carbs. Looked but can't seem to find it here.



They are Mikuni and have 43660 stamped on the side

Hi,

As a reminder, this is a SPECIFICATION thread. This is not a "help" thread. If you have questions about your carbs, start your own thread so the experts can help you.


Thank you for your indulgence,

The airbox and filter must be on, must not be leaking air (sealed properly) and any rubber snorkels or whatever must also be present. If you have pods then you will not be able to use standard jettings. The carburettors must be cleaned, preferably dipped overnight and all rubber o-rings replaced as well as any intake o-rings if used.

It goes without saying, that the valve clearances, spark, and compression must also be in order.
If the above is not in order you will be chasing your own tail, when trying to adjust the idle mixture

I dont have the airbox assembly on my bike so im putting the pods on. Do you know what jets i should put in? and where is a good place to get them? I have a 82 gs550 with cv's
-thanks

I have a gs450LF and need to know what jets I should run with pod cleaners and a after market exai
Ust similar to stock

Hi,

I need help, I have a 1981 gs850 that is just bought and someone screwed with the pilot screw due to a carb boot leak on cyl 4 which is now fixed, I know the hanes says preset for the turns out but what is the preset turns out for the US pilot screws or fuel screw i guess is what it is called.

Start a new thread for yourself in the carb section. This is a specification thread, not a "help" thread.

Hi Mr. cmn1771,

Start somewhere around 3 turns out and adjust using the "highest idle method". You'll find information on my website or by searching the tech sections.

Just so you know, this is a specification thread. If you have questions about YOUR carburetors, feel free to start your own thread and ask away.



Thank you for your indulgence,
