    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

I would be glad if someone could help me identify my carburators before ordering O-rings. They are from my GS1100G(D) -83 model.
They look like Mikuni 34's to me, but there are some differences when compared with other pictures on this fine forum.
Every one has it's own vacuum nipple, is this usual? I have moved the vacuumhose from no. 1 to no. 2 ( counting left to right when sitting on the bike )
What is the bend beside the mount for the throttlewire used for?
I'll be grateful for any input!

( Yes, I know they are dirty and in need of a good soak! )

They look like 34?s. All the BS/CV carb O-ring kits are the same so you are safe to order. And that curved tube is for your choke cable.
 
36's..off an 1150. But Ed is right, they still use the same orings...

OK, now ... how much do you tip your waitress? :-k

























I have found that 10 to 15 ...
















degrees usually works.

I have found that 45 degrees is optimum. That way you get all that loose change out of her pockets as well... :D

The numbers 34 and 36 ... are they the outer diameter of the end that mates with - not waitresses, but the boots?

I prefer waitresses sitting very much the same way as they would on an GS1100! ;)
There is something about the angle of attack that gets to me every time! :dancing:

Thanks!
 
My row of carbs got a knob on the left side of no. 1 that is used for the choke, so I guess the bend is something left over from another model - maybe a GS1100G with a fairing?
Do they have a choke button somewhere else?
 
The 80-81 850 and 1000G's had the choke knob in the steering stem.
The '82-up 850-1100G's had the choke lever on the left hand control.

that carb rack is for the '82-up
 
Thanks, that should be ok then.

Do you know what the difference between BS34 and BS36 carbs are?
 
They measure 34mm. They don't look like Zook carbs but if the jets are the right ones for your make and model they will work.

Do we need to have some sort of namimg ceremony or christening now?
