    79 GS1000 carbs on 1982 GS850

    Hi guys im new to the forum.
    I have a 1982 GS850G and the housing on a couple of my carbs are cracked. I have been looking for replacement carbs for a little while, but my buddy has 79 GS1000 carbs (the older style, I know). I have pods and four to two custom exhaust. I was wondering if I could use his carbs. And if so what it would entail.

      It would entail quite a bit more than you might be willing to do. The boots from the carbs to the head are the wrong size. The throttle cable(s) and linkage are all wrong. The "choke" linkage is wrong.

      It would be far easier to tell Chef or me what parts of which carbs you need, we likely have some for you.

        I am up the road from you and I have a few extra carb bodies. I live in Rockledge just north of Melbourne.
