    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 just copied and pasted the following from my "82' gs1100g" thread. I think I've read most of the stuff here as well as on Basscliff's site but I'm still unsure.


Carb ID for 82'1100gz,(bike I'm working on), is 49400, the carbs on the bike are 49380 for an 83 1100E. Planning to put all of the correct parts in the carbs for the 1100E and go from there.

I have the service manual for the 82' 1100gz from Basscliff's site. Knowing NOW that the carbs ar for an 83' 1100e, I looked at the service manual for that from Basscliff as well. The G manual depicts measuring the float hight from the top of the lip where the bowl fits into, up to the topmost flat of the float where the metal part is, the E manual depicts the measurement from the gasket surface up to the flat on the float material,(lower flat). Whitch one do I use?

And the airbox does not have the "snorkle". Should I bother trying to find one?
 
measure from the gasket surface (without gasket installed) and up to the top of the round part (lower flat) of the float for the 83 E carbs.
