'78 gs750 carb woes

[OriginalOwner]

Those are K&L kits, sold by a guy I know, Marcel, out of Auburn, WA.

I made the same mistake. Don't bother with the kits. Just get the o-rings and the bowl gaskets. Really.

Marcel, aka "retro-motorcycles" is a fantastic resource for parts, but his carb kits are K&L. He does indeed lead you to believe that they are Suzuki, though.

I've been to Marcel's shop, it is FULL of shelves that are full to the brim of neatly organized slide-out boxes and all sorts of goodies.

Good luck

Thanks Matt! Great insight, great info.

Marcel sells a lot of cycle parts on ebay and has a high rate of satisfied customers -- but he also has small army of customers that are quite ****ed off at him too.

Thanks for the heads-up on the specifics.

I will just get the o-rings from cycleorings.com for $15. bucks and then bowl gaskets and pilot jet plugs from Sirius Consolidated for $20 or so. and even though the shipping rates at Sirius are stupid high, I'll still be saving money.

I really appreciate your response.

I humbly submit this thread for starters (it's also in my sig, because I am vain, you see).

You need to rejet for certain, and I would ditch the cheap pods and get K&N pods instead. Upgrade the pods before you rejet, so you won't have to do it twice.
