GS1100EZ carb rebuild

[rubline]

Is there a master kit that contains everything for all 4 carbs or do I need to buy 4 kits? Where do my GS brothers and sisters reccomend to get parts from? I really like bone stock oem and would prefer oem. Im not looking for enhancements or upgrades. The bike will be 30 in the spring and I am starting to have some issues. Thanks

The only parts you really need to rebuild & properly clean your carbs is a can of carb dip & the o-ring kit for CV carbs from Robert Barr here:

That & a set of OEM float bowl gaskets...

Don't waste your money on any of those aftermarket kits - the parts are sub-standard compared to the OEM ones in there already.

Best to do a valve adjust as well unless one's been done recently.

Also, one of our most prized members "Nessism" has put together a great how-to turtorial for rebuilding carbs - here's the link to that as well:

Thank you hikermikem that will help so much. I am going to try to finish out the season before tearing into them. I park my bike at the end of October so its only a couple weeks out.
