82 gs1100e - what size air jets?

[Gregory]

I have just finished rebuilding two racks of bs34 carbs -- off 82 gs1100e's. I have a goobered up air jet and it is a #160. Both carbs have 160's, but I wonder if putting in #170's would be a good option or upgrade. I am running it stock right now with 115 main jets.

I guess I can order four 170's or one 160...and pay big shipping cost on either.

Anyone know what size air jets the 83 1100e came with?

No reply's, so I will post what I learned from Basscliffs site and what I have decided to do.

The 82 83 1100e's came with different set ups between years and countries.

Since I have changed the mains to 115's, I guess I will follow the factory configuration for the bikes that ran 115 main jets... which means I will change these air jets out and buy four new 170's.

Does anyone knows a cheap source for 4 new or used 170 air jets, 2 float bowl drain bolts, and 4 rubber pilot jet plugs?

Main Jets!!!!

Stock 115s huh?

My '82 GS750 had stock 112.5s until I installed my V&H/4-1, then I went to 117s--worked out perfect!

Good luck with your's...post pics!

Surprised that the resident 4-valve expert has not been helpful and answered this question by now. Perhaps you need to call him? (Rapidray)
Or, you could just ask Blowerbike.

I am going with the 170's on the air jets. But to answer the question on STOCK 115 mains... sixth line up from bottom on chart 82-83 1100 ( K model?) http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...at_height.html

160s come on my 1100 L with 115 mains.

I think I have all of what you need.
Changing the pilot air jet from stock will only affect idle and has nothing to do with the main jet.

Thanks Chef. If it wont affect anything I guess it makes financial sense to just buy the one #160 then along with the 2 drain bolts and 4 pilot jet plugs. I guess I will PM you if you are willing to part with those parts.
