    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.

Recently found a guy selling his carbs off of his '88 GSX1100F for cheap, which to my understanding are the bst34ss carbs. I know the 36's are common swaps on gs1100's, but what about these?
 
They will fit but you will need a DJ kit, pods and some adjustments of the float to work on GS models.
I would look them over before buying them. The slides hammer the slide guides and wallow out the emulsion tubes and ruins the jet needle. Even with a DJ kit which includes new emulsion tubes if the guides are hammered it won't be long until you ruin the new parts.

I figured I'd need different jets. Should I treat the jetting configuration like the stock gs1100 carbs with pods? I'll also examine the guides.

Use the DJ kit for the BST carbs.
Use the smaller main jet for the stage three and set the needle as suggested.
Set the float as far as you can or with the angled bowls or you will just leak gas into the engine.
