Where is the tick over screw ?

[bikerzx7r1981]

Hi

I have mikura (think spelt like this) carbs on my recently bought GS1000E. Does anyone know How i turn the tick over down, my old gs1000g had a screw on the carbs.

Any help appreciated

Wow, I have not heard the term 'tick over' in a long time, I had almost forgot about it.



looks like between carbs 2 & 3, part number 57

Your carb brand is Mikuni. What year GS1000E is the bike. They changed carbs between '79 and '80 and the idle speed screw was in different positions on each model.

Hi its a 78 on the log book

The idle speed screw is part number 66 in the diagram and you will find it by putting your hand under the carbs.

That depends, mine is a '79 850 and the screw is not where the fiches say it is.



As you can see, mine is at the top.

So the end result is that we really don't know where it is, but at least you know what it looks like.

Don, I think Suzuki sometimes suffered from what I call GM Disease. Minor changes from year to year that really don't make much sense.
