      I do believe they both use 32mm.

        Thanks for the input, the reason Iwas asking was I got a careless removing an idle jet cap on #2 carb and I can't set the needle to
        get that cyl. to run(stays cool on idle) hot when ran at a higher throttle.
        So I created the problem, and I have to remedy the fix!
        If I can find another BS type carb, I will only have to transfer parts
        after a good cleaning, this is kinda what I was thinking???? Yes??????

          Fine

          That will work just fine but be sure to check your jet sizes....because at least some of them are different. You can check the schematic and figure out just what you'll need!:-D
          1980 GS1100E....Number 15!

            Thanks, I hope all is well in sunny Cali- forn-ya, I hope to be moving to
            southern Cal. within the next year. Mother in law getting old and such.
            It is nice there but lots of money to live! A change from Chgo. will be nice!
            Once again thanks for the info!

              You'll need the extra money just to afford to live here.
