Hello,
I wonder if anyone out there in GS land can help me? I've got a 1979 GS850G with Mikuni VM26SS slide carbs which I'm gradually putting back on the road. The bank of carbs are away being cleaned etc. and the chap doing the work tells me I need a new centre tee piece which feeds the fuel from the tank into the bank of carbs (located between nos 2 & 3 carbs). Unfortunately, these appear to be rare, at least here in the UK. I've tried all the 'old' Suzuki parts dealers I know of but wonder if anyone has any other ideas. The dealers I've spoken to tell me the part is now deleted or no longer available from Suzuki spares people.
It has been suggested that Kawasaki & Yamaha used the same carbs but from what I could see on an exploded diagram, the KZ650, for example, uses a similar arrangement but the part is different so I guess I need to source a genuine Suzuki part.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Many thanks
Mark
