    Identify carbs

    I have a 1980 GS750E that from previous posts I appear to not have the OEM carbs. I don't have enough funds to purchase the original carbs so I would like to rebuild these. Could anyone let me know what carbs I have and possibly what kit I need to buy? Obviously they are Mikuni, but are there several models or only one style? I just want to make sure I purchase the right kit. Also, any recommendations of vendors for buying various screws? I've already ran across several striped screws on the carbs.

    Thanks,

          Someone must know these carbs. Anyways, understand that "rebuild" kits are usually a waste- the metal parts ( jets,etc) don't wear out, its those o-rings that need replacing . For $14, I'd opt for cycleorings BS kit (member on here) and see if they'd work out for your carbs- you might get lucky as they are mikunis. He also sells screw kits- measure yours.

          Make sure you check jet sizes in case whoever did this mod was optimistic as to sizing needs.

            That sounds like a better plan as I took the carbs apart last night and for the most part everything looks good except maybe the seals. Does cycleorings have a website because when I search for a membername I'm not coming up with anything.
