my 77 GS750 has a later engine #, which leads me to believe that it was a 1979 engine most likely or maybe a 78. it does not have the pilot jets or slide cutaway that a 77 had, so I figure the carbs were off of the slightly newer engine as well. I looked up the card number based on all the info on the sticky thread and bass cliff's website, 45013, but this number was not listed anywhere. it is pretty similar to some other numbers on GS 750's 76-79 1st generation, so I wondered if that was commonplace to have different carburetor numbers that may be slightly numerically higher or lower than the few that are listed in the specs on the GSR?
well I discovered that a common problem on these carbs is that the overflow tube in the float bowls will get cracks in them and see p fuel out the overflow drain. I picked up a junk set of carbs at the local VJMC junkyard for $20, vm26 with a different throttle linkage and idle screw set up than on the 750 carbs, but it seems as if they were off of a GS 1000 now. the number on them is 490 00. I read another member on here who had a GS1000c or GS1000swho had the same carb number, and guess what, this number is similar to the published Mikuni carb number for our bikes but slightly off as well just like my 750!
is there any other comprehensive list that would show more detailed specs as to what years/ bikes these came on?
