Se if you can find your carbs in the sticky carb spec at the beginning of this section.

thanks for the fast reply i found one for the 1985 GS550E it is .81" +- .04 hopefully someone can verify that will work for me

The E and L models both had those funky carbs so that should work.

Double check your throtle plate number ( 110 or 120 )and match it to your carb specs for float heights there are differences between models and years for the siamese carbs.

I have a manual for that "L" bike, the float height is .81". I've attached all the carb specs for you...

Funky little carbs those 2-barrels. I would go up at least one jet size if it were me, they seemed to run very lean by design.

Good luck,

Mike
