    are 16v carb kits the same as 8v carb kits?

    i just went and looked at the carb rebuild kits that i put in the carbs on my 82 gs1100L, and i noticed that the top of the kits said 80-83 gs1100E. the kits are made by K&L. are the jets the same for both motors?

    You better check the jet sizes before installing the kits. Sticky thread about carb jets on top the forum might provide the answer.

    Good luck.

      The gaskets are the same and a few o-rings. That's about it. I have an extra Dynojet for the sixteen valve 1100 and I offered to rejet saltymonk's bike with it. Upon further checking the Dynojet kits weren't even in the same ballpark for the eight valve.

        The carb kits are a waste of time unless you need the mixture needles. All of the jets can be reused, just replace the O rings & maybe the float bowl gasket.
