GS450S Carb question

[PeteD]

Hi guys, I'm new to this area as I had a GS750E previously but sold it on and now I've Just got hold of a 83 GS450s project bike.

long story short. I need to replace one of the BS34SS carbs due to a broken float post, however I've not been able to come buy any carbs from the same model. What I have found is a set from a GSX400.

From what I can tell the Jets etc are slightly different, so what I'm wanting to know is if I can get away with just putting on the GSX carbs without bothering to swap all the parts over, or would I be better off just putting everything in the new GSX carbs? or perhaps only some selected parts.

I'm sure some of you guys will have some experience of this kind of thing.

Thanks

Pete.

I can't help at all with GSX carbs, but I did put carbs from an 89 GS500 on to a 1980 GS450S..... so you probably do have other options.

Thanks. I think I'll just give them a try and see what happens. If they don't work right I'll see if I can find a set from a 500.
