gs 550 carburators values

[Aztk8r]

Hello my name is Geronimo, I`m argentinian, I have a gs 550 l 1980

The bike was stopped for years, so I decided to make a carburator cleanup, but when I open them they were in a very bad shape.

The info I need are the values for the jets, to see if I could buy them one by one, cause here in argentina, can`t find the replacement kit.

The carburators are the bs32ss.

I`ll appreciate this info, thank you very much!

Welcome! carbs "in very bad shape"- as in filthy dirty??? dried out o-rings? usually, the metal parts don't go bad- provided the bike didn't go swimming. Anyways here is link to a carb spec chart

It's in the GS Owners section. Go there and tell us more about the bike, and post up pictures!

As to your carbs, they need a good cleaning. There's a guide to cleaning the BS (akaCV) carbs on BassCliff's site.

I don't know what you can get for carb dip in Argentina, so you'll need to research that.

Clean the carbs, get an O ring set from Robert and all you may need is some gaskets for your carbs. If nothing is broken, you can get the carbs up and running in a week or so

If you think you need jets, check the vendors list

Hi Mr. Aztk8tr,

It is possible to order new carb parts. But even if your carbs look bad, usually you can clean them and use them again. Look at the carburetor rebuild guides on my website. You can find a chart with the original carb specifications HERE.
