    Are 1100E carbs the same

    Were the 1100E carbs the same across all the years. I now the airbox changed, but how bout the carbs? BikeBandit has different #'s for them I, but I just wanted to double check.

    thanks

    The "83" model carbs were black instead of alum. like the earlier models. The cable brackets "could" have been slightly different, & the jets "may" have been different, but the carbs were the same except for the color.

      Definately different jetting in between the years. But the actual bodies should be the same.

        The choke and throttle cable brackets are different from 80-81 and 82-83. I prefer the 82-83 with the choke lever on the left handlebar switch. It is also easier to take off and put on. All the 1150s are also the same as the 82-83.

          1150 carbs are same as 1100 carbs ?

          I thought 1150s were 36 mm and 1100s were 34 mm

            I think he was referring to the choke actuation method.

              I have the choke cable on the left hand control, would this make any difference if hooking it up to an 80-81....as far as routing or placement?

                    my bike is an 82, set in question an 80. Also, just good to know in general if they all work regardless of choke placement.

                      They will work. You will have to take off the choke rod on your carbs and swap out the choke setup and throttle and choke bracket. Also swap out the jets. Might as well clean them up.
