Carb rebuild kits generally have a bad reputation.

Do you have the 8v or 16v model?

[GARYEIN1]

Not sure it has 2 Mikuni's on it if that helps

[steveb922]

Sounds like the 16v model with two paired carbs. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about them, but I'm sure someone else will.

While you're waiting, try some light reading :-http://www.mtsac.edu/~cliff/storage/gs/Mikuni_BS-CV_Carburetor_Rebuild_Tutorial.pdf.

Might not be directly applicable to yours, but a lot of the general principles will apply

No aftermarket kit exists that I know of.
Get the o-rings from cycle orings.com
Get the bowl gaskets from Suzuki.
Get the needle valves and seats from a reliable Mikuni parts purveyor.

The parts interchangeability would be from 1983-86
GS 550L
GS 550E faired and unfaired models.

The numbers on the carbs are
43610
4x1

Does anyone know what size the small jets
I can't read the numbers on mine even with a magnifying glass
