carb question

I have to replace one of the carb bodies for my '82 gs1100e. So my question is, which other year and make carbs are the same as my stock carbs?

I have to replace it because half of one of the pilot jets as well as its threads are gone.

Thanks,

Billy Miles
 
Just a thought, I broke a pilot jet off in my "83" GS 1100 E, & thought the whole carb was wasted. I used a left handed bit, a little smaller than the diameter of the jet, to try to drill it out. I had drilled apprx. 1/8" deep, when the bit hung the broken jet & backed it right out. Thought the threads were probably messed up, but a new jet screwed right in.
 
Using a flashlight and another carb to compare, I can tell that at least half of the threads in the carb body are gone competely. So if I am able to get the jet out, will there be enough thread to hold on to the jet?

Also, if it is worse than that, what carbs are the same as my stock units?

Thanks,
Billy Miles
 
If bucks are low you might try JB Welding a new jet in place. Couldn't hurt anything to try, right?
 
I'd be wary of placing JB weld in such a small area since it could cause the new jet to be locked in place and leave you no adjustability. to me it would be cheaper in the long run to find a carb body that is in good shape and rebuild it instead. :P

That is the plan, but since I haven't actually gotten anything that resembles an answer to my post I am researching other sites for an answer.

Thanks for your reply Billy, but I couldn't find what I needed at your link. I have found a set of '82 and '83 carbs somewhere else though, I just have to have the owner send some pics.

All the 1100 E carbs are the same, except the "83" carbs are black. I would think any of the 34mm Mukuni cv carb bodies, of that era, will be the same. There is a set of stock 36mm, off of an 1150 on e-bay now. That set will bolt right on your 1100.
 
Billy, that darling little girl in your avatar shouldn't be called 'hissing cockroach'! :lol: :lol:
 
Thanks, I forgot to change my signature when I changed my avatar.

They are both 34mm but the main air jet is different. You can't change these out either.
