    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.

I have a question for you guys, I have a 1981 GS1000G, I have the chance to get a great set of carbs from a 1981 GS1000L, will they fit and are they exactly the same as mine. Any info would be great.
Ps, looking at the PICS the guy sent to me, they look the same, but saying that I bought 2 sets off ebay, and found after arrival that they were 850 ones. Phil.
 
Their may be minor jetting differences, the carbs themselfs should be the same should be 34mm I have a 1000G motor to put in my 850- I have two sets of 34mm carbs/ I'm going to make one set out of them
 
Hi :lol:
The carbs are the same.Mikuni BS34SS...
Float hight 22.4+-1.0
Main jet #115
Pilot jet #40
Starter jet #45
Pilot air jet #160

The engines are identical ecept for the gear ratio on second and fift gear..
Lower on the GLX....

Just another question, I put a K&N airfilter element in the airbox, it has a Harris 4 into 1 exhaust, and all new cut in valves, you stated that a 115 main jet should be in it, should I go with a larger jet? (when I eventually get it started)
 
Hi :lol:

On my bike I have KN filter and Yoshimura 4-1 exhaust.

Run great with Mikuni 115 or Dynojet 118
Tried both of them.
The needles I have in 4rt. grove from top.
Going to put Wiseco 1100 on it.
Hopes it runs fine with the same setup.
Time will tell...


Still winter here

No snow,but ice on the side roads.

thanks for all the reply's, I bought the carbs ($99) and the owner cleaned them up and serviced them, they came off a GS1000L, what will have I have to do to run it properly on my G? how many turns out on the air screw settings? or should I just wait till I get the carbs balanced at the local bike shop as he might know more than me!
 
I would start with 2 1/2 turns out. You have to run it & then check the plugs
