So I've been searching the Net for a carb rebuild kit for my Mikini VM26SS , off a 1979 GS 850 . Can anyone point me to a parts website that has this ? I can only find kits for 1979 GS750 . Is this the same stock carb on both bikes ? I also want to know what popular kit previously mentioned so as NOT to purchase them . Thanks!

Here are the oring kits..1 kit does the entire rack. You WILL NOT need anything as far as hard parts go unless you get crazy physical or loose something. Replace the intake orings while the carbs are off too. see page 3 for those.
And heres your rebuild tutorial on the right side margin here.... Order new bowl gaskets and you should be good to go. Be sure the little spring loaded tips on the float needles are free and spring back when you push them too.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
Thanks , so where would you order bowl gaskets from and what about the carb model being not very availableComment

The gaskets can com from the dealer, on eby, or whatever is the cheapest source for you. The carbs themselves arent available but things like float seats, float needles, floats and such can still be sourced.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

NOTE that when we say gently seated on the pilot screws ( the bottom ones ) we mean that you slowly and easily turn them in till they stop. Dont force them after that point as you dont want to break a tip off inside the passage.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I get mine from this place in Canada. Even with shipping they bare still about half of what 4 will cost from Suzuki. And if you have the plastic fuel tubes with the molded rubber seals I suggest getting rid of them and getting the aluminum ones that use orings. The orings for them will come in the kit from cycleorings.

Thanks all for the info ! What type of carb should I quote when ordering parts vm26ss or just VM26 ????Comment

VM 26 is all you need to know. The 750s, 1000, and others before 80 used the same stuff.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
