Gs 750(79) / Gs 850(79) Carbs

Hi All, I want to overhaul and do a complete rebuild on my Gs850(79) Carbs. Can anyone suggest where to buy 4 complete rebuild kits. Did Suzuki use the Gs 750(79) Carbs on the Gs 850(79)...Are they the same Rebuild Kit?. Also...using 4 into 2 exhaust and Custom pods..any info on settings, sizes, etc, would be appreciated.

Don't use a kit. Just order the o-rings from Barr (www.cycleorings.com) and maybe the bowl and top gaskets from Z1. The OEM jets you have are much better than anything in those kits.

Hi MisterCinders. Thanks for that. I took the Carbs off..and its a bit of a nightmare inside!!. New Gaskets, O-Rings, and a good dip required. I`m not sure whats going on in there,..as I have fuel dripping from exhaust (No 2) and it looks wet around exhaust port (No 2). Thought I would start from scratch and renew all. The reason I asked about the Gs750(79) Carb and the Gs850gn(79) Carb, is that I was looking on ebay for Gs850gn Carb Gaskets ,etc, and I found two sellers,...However, each kit had different Float Chambers Gaskets, for the same model. I saw that the Gs750 kits advertised for sale have, what look like, the same Gaskets that I need for my Carbs. So, I was just wondering if the same Carbs had been used on both the Gs750(79) and the Gs850gn(79).

Those bikes use the same VM26 carbs. Later models use the CV carbs.

Hi MisterCinders, Thanks for clearing that up. I think I will go ahead and replace everything that I can, whilst I`m doing this rebuild. That way, I`m starting off on a level footing, and will save me time in the future, by not having to break the Carbs open again, at a later date (Hopefully!). I appreciate all your help..Many Thanks.
