valve adjustment

No, once again, that is a mixture screw for a BS series carb.

.

I think that is what he's asking for....BS carbs for a '83 GS1100E, right?

EDIT...I see it was Mad GS750 asking about the CV's....2 requests from 2 different people for 2 different bikes in the same thread....oh, so confusing....

Isn't that what Madgs750e was asking for?

The link for Z1 Enterprises that theo posted below for air screws states they are for GS 750/850/1000.I have a 83 GS 1100 E with BS34SS carbs that im cleaning i could use one of those screws. Are they the same screw even tho they dont list the 1100,they sure look the same?thanks

Well, there are 2 people asking about 2 different bikes in this thread....so that is the correct one for Mad GS750 but not for the original poster....

Not sure which link you saw that you are asking about, he posted two of them.
Look for the link that ends with "2569", that is the one you want.

There are two screws that look very similar. The "2568" screw is 20.6mm long, the "2569" screw is 22.0mm long.
The bikes up to and including the 1000 use the 20.6mm screws, the 1100s and 1150s use the 22.0mm screw.

Thanks to all for the thread jack

Don't take it personally.
It's not the first time it's happened, and likely won't be the last.

The thread started about valve adjustment, then you took it to carb screws, then it got diverted to other carb screws
by someone who was really meaning well, so it didn't really go too far sideways.

OK, let's get back on track. You get those broken tips out of your carbs yet? :-k

Naaahhh, I don't think Ford_racoon was really mad. After awhile, we all get our threads hijacked to some degree.
PM me if you still need that air mixture screw, I mentioned earlier.

Does anybody happen to know the model number for the stock 79 gs850 carbs? Im gonna search for the parts I need on the net.

Post # 20 has the 850 carb specs. Depending on what you need most here recommend only Mikuni jets, some of the rebuild kits available online are poor quality.

Ok so I got the vm26ss. Where can I buy fuel pilot screws? I know that the kit from Z1enterprise has them but I dont really wanna pay $80 just for pilot screws.

 

[Steve]

Unfortunately, that's about the only way to get them.

Never hurts to post in the Parts wanted forum. The pilot fuel screws for all the GS VM carbs are the same so that should help you expand your search.

 

[ford_raccoon]

Do all mikuni vm carbs have the same pilot fuel screw? Or is it just the gs versions?

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the 77 to 80 Kawasaki 650 carbs shared that
part.
