    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.

'82 GS 650- What carbs work??

Trying to figure out what carbs will work for my 1982 GS 650E. Mine are too far gone to rebuild. Bad corrosion. Will 850, 550 or 1000 carbs work if I change jets and needle settings? What years would work also?

Thanks for the help!
 
The others will have the incorrect main air jet and the main air jet is not replaceable. The 650 used 2mm main air jets while the others used smaller jets. You can drill them out to 2mm but you'll also have to replace most of the other jets as well. You'll also have an issue with carb spacing. The 1000 carbs will not work as they are BS34 carbs and yours are BS32.
 
550 ,650,750,850 used the bs32 carb. But as mentioned, bunch of stuff would need swapping.
Just how bad are your carbs? Can you scare us with a pic? My carbs ain't pretty, but work fine.
Got a salvage yard in your area, you might be better off than ebay fishing.
 
I'll shoot a picture tonight. They are pretty corroded. I might try and send them through the parts washer a few times to see if they are salvageable. Thanks for the help so far!
 
If it was me, I'd remove the carb top covers and carefully extract the fragile vacuum diaphragms before any part washer fun. Yoursmight be still good and worth keeping. Label each from the carb it came out of.
