GS1100ez carb help
I have a 1982 Gs1100e. The original carbs are disassembled and missing pieces. The guy i got the bike from gave me keihin carbs With the stamp number 84aahd. it appears there from a 94-97 fireblade. Will these work on my bike and if not what should i ask for if i sell them. I heard the 89 gsxr750 carbs work great on these bikes. ThanksTags: None

It would be easier to find a set of correct carbs than play with keihins unless you're ambitious. Post in parts wanted forum here or go ebaying. Personally , I'd avoid buying already dismantled carbs, but you can probably find someone who needs keihin parts.
Hopefully, rest of bike is OK.1981 gs650L

Rebuilding the carbs is the right of passage with any 30+ year old motorcycle. Carb rebuild tutorial linked in my signature. Trying to use an old used set of unknown carbs is a suckers bet.Last edited by Nessism; 12-15-2013, 10:07 PM.Ed

Check a couple of the mikunis for main jet sizes to see if they appear to be right size for this bike- the "missing parts" might be more expensive /aggravating than another carb rack that hasn't been messed with. No matter what, heed Nessism's carb cleaning tutorial.1981 gs650L
