1980 GS1100 Carb Issue

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,
My name is Sean and I've been using this site for a while now while bringing back to life a 1980 GS1100. So much great info on here. Thanks!
Issue I'm having is I broke off one of the posts on the far right carb when I first got it. I jimmy rigged it and it works intermittently. When it doesn't it dumps fuel out of the overflow. I just bought a 1980 GS850 set off ebay and I'm reading that they are different. Anyone have the far right carb off a 1980 GS1100 they want to sell me? Or trade the entire set of GS850 for the one GS1100? Can I use the 1 carb off the 850 with the others? This bike is super fun when it runs correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, the 850 used the BS32SS while the 1100 and 1000 used the BS34SS. You can not use the 850 carbs with the 1100 carbs.

I will look thru my carb junk pile tomorrow and get back to you on here. I have a complete set and several carbs {4-5} but it has to be the carb for that position only. Some of the ones I have the idiots stripped the screw heads off the pilot or mixture screws

I have a carb for you, and would be willing to take you up on that trade.

I actually own the same bike. When I bought mine I found two of the float mounts had been jimmy rigged and they also dump fuel.
I have been searching for another carburetor to fit but its hard to find specs on the 1100 anywhere (for me any how).

I heard you can fit any suzuki 1100 carb up to 92 on these bikes, have you had any luck?

My offer is still good.
