'83 suzuki gs1100 carb on different years

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new on this forum, so far it has been a great help. I was wondering if anyone knows whether the carbs on the '83 1100 e/d were used on any different years, and perhaps what those years were? I was just putting in my stage one kit when I found that the left side mixture adjustment screw was junk, I took the carburetor to a machine shop to get it out, but no luck, and now the carburetor is junk. I found a set of carbs from and '85 on ebay, and was wondering whether they would work on my '83. Thanks for any help you can give. :)
 
All the BS34 CV carbs used on the 1100s are basically the same just slightly different jetting and possably needles. The ones on my 80 GS1100 are parts of 3 different bikes thanks to some real craftsmanship by the prior owners. Each carb only works in 1 position so when you buy extra carbs make sure the ones you need haven't been buggered up
 
Not sure of your location, but I think, and will be corrected if wrong:),that Canadian 1150s were still called 1100s.
 
Ok, lets get real picky and include the 82 GS1000S. I specifically said 1100s, 85s are not 1100s
 
Just trying to be helpful. Mr Baroque stated that he saw a set on ebay from an 85. As you said, 85s weren't 1100s so it may be an incorrect ebay listing......

82 gs1000s:D. Went right over my head.....The only reason I asked about 1150s badged as 1100s is because the cycle on the Clymer gs1150 manual cover is clearly an 1150 with GSX1100 decals.
 
If you had all 4 of the 36 mm 1150 carbs they would work ok. Whether they mix & match I don't know, Ive never had a set. If one would work I doubt the engine would even notice the difference. I didn't mean what I said the way it came out, my appologys
 
Its all good:cool: it took about 15 minuters to catch the 82 1000s refrence, at which point I chuckled...
