Carb Gurus: Difference between 1980-81 and 82-83 BS32SS Carb

[DesertRatliff]

Hi,


Long story short, I need a LH or #1 carb body for my 1980 GS850G. There's a used LH BS32 body on ebay but it's for a 82-83 GS850. I notice there are different part numbers for the body (13200-45110 vs. 13201-45160). Would someone tell me what the difference is? I'm guessing I can't use the body if it's a different part number but I'd like to know the difference anyway. And bonus points for leads to a 1980 BS32SS LH/#1 Carb that won't break the bank.
Thanks,
Nic

Check the carb sticky at the top of this forum and compare the jet sizes. Most likely some minor difference. Most jets are replaceable so no worry but there is at least one air jet that isn't.

The jets are different, but the carb body is the same. As long as you put your '80 internals in the '82 body, you will be fine.

Awesome, thanks guys. I ordered the 82-83 body. It looks like I can return it if it doesn't work, but everything Steve has written has proven correct for me so far.

Thanks again.
