    79 gs1000 carb question?

    I just bought a 79 GS1000 and i need to clean the carbs. I am having some trouble finding any carb kits for them. I found some on Bikebandit but they dont come with very much. I read The online Carb cleaning procedure and also printed it out before realizing that i dont have the same carbs..lol Any info on the kits or do you really think i would need them. I would feel better knowing i had them if i needed a gasket. Dont want to waste money either. Also any online tutorial like the one for the cv carbs?

    Thanks Krank

    Contact www.cycleorings.com for the orings and start from there. And you'll find the VM tutorial on Basscliff's site on the right hand side.

      Thanks Cowboy. Sometime's i look so hard i dont see anything..lol

      Is there anything that I should have a hand to start. Any common parts that should be replaced with a carb clean/rebuild. I would like to have what i need before I start so can go start to finish.

      Thanks Krank

        For one you don't need the carb kit usually. Maybe a float bowl gasket or two.
        Now if someone has messed with them ? you may have a broken fuel needle then it would pay to get the kits. Check the kit not all of them are the same

          Kits are generally inferior products and not worth it.

          Only buy o-rings, and any broken parts OEM or from motorcyclecarbs.com

                  You pull the carbs out by pulling up at the back then pulling them back

                  You don't pull out the air box unless you need to

                  Go back to BassCliff's site and download the service manual
