Guys, I am trying to locate pilot fuel screws (the ones under the carb next to float bowl) that have extentions on them for easy adjustment (Factory Pro longboys). My bike is a GS1000EN 1979 with VM (28mm) carbs, the guys at Factory Pro have asked me what the orginal part number is and for the love of it I can find it anywhere :confused:, asked a few vintage Suzuki parts suppliers and they can't help. If anyone here can help that would be great.... ;)

RB :D

I have just read this from the Z1 site, 'many models with the fuel screws do not either show the part on the parts diagram, or there are no part numbers.as they were considered part of the sealed carb set'


It looks like there is no Suzuki part number, (I did find the Kawasaki part number for the equivelent piece 16014-018.) unless some knows of a number.

These are the only stock ones that I have been able to actually see a picture of anywhere. And some say that the KZ 1000 ones are the same but with that dropped down stem for adjustments..which I suspect is what you have. stock ones dont hang below the rim of the holes.

I have not purchased these myself so I cant speak to them as far as if they are correct or not. Maybe someone thats has used these can give some feedback before you spend the money.

You are correct, there is no Suzuki part number for the fuel screw

However, checking that link, Factory has their part listed wrong

GS 750s -79-83 - the 79s use a VM carb, the 80's and newer have a BS carb-so it can't be the same part
Same with the 850's

I have used them too, but they are no easier to adjust. The only thing for that is to make or find a flat blade screwdriver that fits in there with your hand and is short enough with enough grip to turn accurately in a cramped position. I have the angled tool and it is not a lot easier and harder to keep in the slot.
