    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I took apart the carbs on my 82 gs1100 and they are pretty much rusted beyond use, I also have a 82 gs850 that had the same style vaccum carbs but they wouldn't fit up to the intake boots correctly tell me if it's possible to use these carbs on the 1100 or must I find another set else where
 
The 850 carbs are BS32, the 1100 carbs are BS34. You would have to do some adapting, but realize that you would also lose a bit of performance. The BS32 is the same carb that is used on the GS550. :eek:

You could look for some other carbs, but there is a chance that your carbs can be cleaned. Send me some pictures, I will be happy to give you an opinion on whether they can be refurbished.

I have several sets of GS1100 carbs. They have been sitting and will need to be gone thru. Ill sell you a set for $100 +postage if youre interested. I once took 3 sets of carbs to make one after our friendly local bike mechanic got done striping everything out on them, pilot jet heads, air screw heads etc. The trick is to let them soak with penetrating oil and use a little heat if needed plus use the right size screw driver, that's #1. These are right off a bike, don't know what the insides look like but they are fairly clean outside
