    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...

    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.

Carb questions

So...a couple of questions about this 1980 Suzuki Gs 1100. Would it be easier to get a set of carbs off a newer model GSXR and fit them onto the bike? Would I then have to mess around with jetting to get the bike idle, off idle and accel circuts right? I have no carb boots to mount to the head and right now I am in the process of putting back together a bike that is "mostly" there. Or at least mostly in those boxes. The carbs I have for it now have been dropped at least once and the bowls are broken on 2 of them. Not to mention that no one seems to stock the right carb rebuild kit for them.

Any help would be appreciated,
Jay
 
Is it a 1100G or E model? It would be easier to repair yours. Carbs from a air/oil cooled motor should work, I would measure a set from a bandit 1200 for size. NOT from a water cooled motor the spacing is different . You will most likly have to rejet them. Not sure if you have the BS34 or BS36 but the fuel bowls I believe are the same. Sometimes short lengths of radiator hose are used to connect/adapt the carbs to the manifold
 
I'm not in front of the frame right now but it is chain drive... that makes it an E model right??
 
Chain drive would be E or ES Carb kits are listed in the http://www.DennisKirK.com catalogue as part # 17-0582 GS1100E/ES 80-83 $21.99@ As longt as the main body of the carb is not broken they are repairable
