I have a new to me 83 GS1100E with a leak between carbs 2 & 3. Looks like the fuel rail O-rings are leaking. I've got the bars off carbs and the choke rail, and now I'm staring at the "buttery fly" rail with all those springs and the caps on the ends. How is this removed? Do I just pry off the caps? And then, how is this rail reinstalled? Fun!

I just read the excellent Ed Ness tutorial but it just says "Carbs can now be un-ganged". What am I missing? Or maybe they just pull apart...Last edited by hlh1; 03-21-2017, 08:00 PM.GS History: 1980 GS1000E, 1982 GS1100G, 1983 GS1100ES, 1986 GSXR750,

Follow the tutorial and you should be okay. Once the two gang bars are removed and the choke rod the carbs should just pull apart.Ed
To measure is to know.

Was able to separate the carbs and found the fuel rail O-rings hard and cracked. I'm sure they're original. The PO gave me a new set of O-rings and they were easily installed. Also replaced the drain and choke O-rings. Once I receive the rest of the parts I'll complete the carb rebuild.GS History: 1980 GS1000E, 1982 GS1100G, 1983 GS1100ES, 1986 GSXR750,

Great place for proper fitting O rings is Robert Barr. He is a member here and has great prices and super quick serviceComment

Finally completed the carb rebuild and took the old girl for a ride. I'd forgotten how powerful these old bikes are. This thing rips!GS History: 1980 GS1000E, 1982 GS1100G, 1983 GS1100ES, 1986 GSXR750,
