    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 need new carbs for my 78 gs1000 I was wondering if I can upgrade while I'm at it to maybe a diagram later type bigger size or it's best to go back to the same vm26s?
 
If you want to go to the later BS carbs, you will need to change to a 1980 cylinder head, as well. The carbs are larger, which requires larger intake boots, which requires the head that was designed for them.

Why do you feel you need new carbs? :-k

Well the bike was in a electrical fire...and one carb choke tube was broken and the other got warped where the slide goes up and down and it gets stuck
 
Yep, you are going to need some parts and/or new bodies. Contact member Chuck Hahn. He rebuilds carbs and might have the parts you need.

I don't have a full rack or bodies to give up. Got keep a few around in case I need one some day. Sorry.
 
You can run BS34 carbs on your head. I do, should say I did, I ran BST34SS off a GSXR1100 till I put my VM33's back on. You use KZ1000 manifolds, you just have to open up the attaching holes a few mm.

I should add that I ran pods with mine. Not sure if the factory air box will work.
