Carb interchange question

[craywm]

Hello,

I have looked through schematics but cannot find the answer to this question. I have a 1979 Mikuni VM carb for my GS750 and i bout a 1978 Mikuni VM parts carb. I know the choke design is different, but other than this, are these carbs the same? Can i interchange the bodies?

What is the part carb off of?

Hi,

Maybe this will help...

Parts Cross-Reference Software - For Suzuki and other motorcycles (a commercial product, about $25)

http://zedder.com/catalog.htm

Alternate (Free) Parts Cross-Reference Procedure - using a couple of our favorite online resources.

1. Start here:

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

2. Find your bike by year and model. Select the part you wish to reference.

3. Identify the part number, right-click and copy the part number.

4. Then use Babbit's cross-reference utility here:

http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/1/default.aspx

5. In the pull-down menu labeled "Brands", select "Suzuki".

6. Right-click and paste the part number copied from alpha-sports into the line labeled "Search for".

7. Click "Quick lookup".

You are then presented with every model that the referenced part will fit.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I got the parts carbs i believe off of a 1978 GS750. Some of the parts are different it looks like but for the most part i think i can interchange everything. I mainly need to bodies of the carbs.
