    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.

Hey all,
I have searched the world over and I cannot find parts to rebuild these carbs. VM26 I belive they are. Any sources? Like to keep it, new Bandit costs too much!
 
You can quite often find them on ebay, There are two aftermarket types
Keister?- basic kit, gaskets and float needle assembly K & L usually is complete kit with jets. Do a search on ebay for carb kits
 
Re: '79 GS850G Carbs

I got my carb rebuild kits from cycle recycle. Their online catalog is
http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm
I just checked and they dont list a 79 GS850. However, my 79 GS750 has 26mm VM carbs and they do list complete kits for it. My understanding is that the 750E puts out slightly more HP than did the 850G model, so I would bet the jet sizes in the 750 kits would do just fine. They may in fact be exactly the same. The kits are complete with jets, springs, "O" rings, gaskets, screws, etc.

79 GS850 carbs

This is a related question. Are the carbs on the 78-79 GS1000 the same as on the 79 GS850 :?:
A guy on eBay has 4 of the K&L kits for the GS1000.

Gaskets and fuel needle assembly are the same. I believe the jets are different
 
Email this guy and tell him what you want. He advertises himself as "The Carburetor Capital of the World". I bought from them and they are very nice and fast delivery. Also, the cheapest that I've found.
