    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.

Is it possible to use any rack of carbs as long as the opening is the same in diameter on the end that mounts to the intake manifolds, and the center to center distance is the same between each carb as the ones I want to replace?
 
No one knows the answer? Is it because I didnt say Hi, how yall doing first?
 
To try and anser your question The 77GS750 used the 26mm slide type carbs the later bikes used 32-34mm BS vacuum type carbs which are much bigger . You would have to make your own manifold adapters. Because of the small intake ports on the early GS
there would be NO inprovement, It may even run bad. If you want preformance inprovements try and find aftermarket 29mm smothe bore carbs (getting scarce) Other option is to change to a later 80 up GS850/1000 cyl head assembly I personally like the slide carbs
 
No real point upping the carbs unless you have some engine mods to use it. Exhaust is the first thing, then how much do you want to spend? If you want heaps more power far easier and cheaper to get a bigger GS to start with.
 
For a little more carb, find a set of carbs from a pre 1978 Kawasaki KZ 900 or KZ 1000. They were 28's, and the best I can remember they will bolt right on with no modifications. Someone please correct me if this isn't correct.
