    83 GS1100ED carb rebuild kit main and pilot sizes

    Just installing new main and pilot jets using a K&L carb rebuild kit for GS1100E 80-83. K&L part number 18-2590
    The shop manual calls for main jet size to be 112.5 and the pilot to be 47.5.
    There are 2 main jets in the kit 107.5 and 115, and the 2 pilot jets supplied are 40 and 45. Is this some kind of mistake or should I just use the 115 main and the 45 pilot sizes? Canadian bike, if it makes a difference.

    Whats wrong with the jets that were in the carbs? A little soaking and they are better than new.
    Did you get new o-rings for the carbs?

      The jets were in bad shape, really tarred up. I boiled them in lemon juice and then reaming them with a fine wire. Under a magnifying glass they still look like they have crud in there, pilot jets are still hard to see through. I think I'll let them soak in carb cleaner for a while.

        Dip the mikuni jets in carb dip and use them.

          At worst, Z1Enterprises sells them for around $2 each. I'm pretty sure they ship to Canada.

            In Canada I use Gunk hydroseal for cleaning carbs and parts.
            If the jets are that bad the rest of the carbs are going to need a good soaking.
            Order o-rings from Robert Barr, you are wasting your time if you put them back together with old o-rings.
            +1 For Z1, great, fast shipping to Canada.
