    What carbs will fit my 79 gs850?

    I took the carbs off my 79 gs850 into the local shop to get fixed, and the previous owner trashed the housing and they can't be rebuilt.
    So what carbs will fit on that bike? I have to get a replacement set regardless. Thanks

    VM 26s work well.

      Do you just need one of the carbs?

          Hmm, were the fuel float posts broken?

          Or, something else?

          You sure the previous owner broke the carbs?
