Carburetor Order HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[916gs1100e]

Hi GS community. Recently purchased a 1982 GS1100e. Carbs were taken off and tanken apart. I have no idea which Carb goes to which cylinder. Any help would be much appreciated. And if there is a thread please link. Thanks

Check which carbs you have as they list two different types, but this gives you and idea

The simplest way is to look at where the fuel connectors attach

Two holes = center carb
Two holes, vacuum nipple= #2
two holes, no vacuum nipple = #3

One hole, left side= #4
One hole, right side = #1


check BassCliif's "where do these hoses go?" for some other reference points

Check the rebuild tutorial linked in my signature. It's easy to figure out what goes where based on the vent and fuel feed tubes.

Good luck

It's actually quite easy on your carbs.

Looking at the throttle shaft area, one carb will have a metal cover over the left side, instead of linkage that goes to the next carb. That is carb #1.

Another carb will have that metal cap on the right side, that is carb #4.

Only one carb will have a vacuum nipple at the top of the engine side, next to the mixture screw. That is carb #2.

Only one carb will have all the linkage to which the throttle cable attaches, that is carb #3.

Thanks guys. Its nice to see the love for these old ladies

2 end carbs can only go one place because of fuel inlets, look at linkage & choke locations for middle ones. Where they bolt to the larger long 90 degree plate will help also along with above advise. After you lay them out you will see pretty easily where they go
