    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...

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 am rebuilding/rejetting a set of stock carbs for my son's 82 gs1100. This bike will be used for drag racing only and is stock other than a 1166 kit, pods and a 4-1.
I am going to put 130 mains in it and 47.5 air jets. I am going to put the needle clip in the lowest groove.
How do these setting sound? Any advise?

Paul
 
Sounds rich, but the only way to know is to test it. Temperature, elevation, etc cause too much variation. I played around with a 1100 that was similar to yours and 130 was too much main and the needles were far too rich on the lowest setting.

But being rich you won't break anything, just burn a lot of gas.
 
Sounds like a reasonable enough place to start, except that the 47.5 jets will work better as pilot fuel jets, rather than pilot air jets. :-k

Needle is too RICH there & the main is too SMALL. I am guessing you will run a 4 into 1 with no baffle & no air cleaners? At least when you go to the track? That being the case, set the needles ONE clip from richest & START with a 145-150 main jet. Adjust the mixture screws with the bike idling & turn each one in or out till the motor idles the fastest it will idle on that cylinder & then move on to the next one. If the idle speed jumps up a lot turn it back down & continue to the next one. For street, use with the filters & baffle in, lean the needles one clip & go to 145 mains. Good luck. I'm guessing this will be a "learning" bike? Ray.

Ray, A learning bike of sorts. We campaigned a 9 second gs1000 a few years ago here in SW Ontario Canada and won quite a few racemeets. I sold that bike and now my son wants to set up his old street bike for the track. I do have extensive knowledge of the big Suzukis but just wanted a baseline for jetting to save headaches.
I appreciate your help.
