gs1100g vs gs1000g carbs

[Guest]

Hi all. I found a rack of gs1100g (no year given) on ebay. Seller claims will fit gs1000g with different jets. All I want is one carb body. The oem part #s are different. Does anyone know if the carb bodys are the same ?
My sincere thanks to all the contributors to this site !

They both use BS34SS carbs, only the main jets are different inside.

On the outside, you will have a different "choke" mechanism. Unless you change your left handgrip to accommodate the '82-and-up "choke" activator, you will want to put your 1000 linkage ('80 or '81) on your 1100 carbs.

Or, if you are just changing the one body, there is no problem at all, just make sure you CLEAN it, replace the o-rings and install the correct jets.

Thanks so much for the info. I will bid on the carbs.

Finally got a rack of carbs, will be posting extra parts for sale soon. One question, the butterfly valve from my carb is 6J140. The new carbs are 6J135. Do I need to change out butterfly valves ?

Hi Ms. luvnwunderwoman,

Or are you a male who "luvs" a "wunderwoman"?

Anyway, the BS34SS carb bodies are the same despite the different number on the butterfly valves. Just make sure the jetting is correct. You'll find a carb spec chart on my little website along with some other goodies you may find helpful. Here's the S.W.A.G.
