    need to source some carbs for 1981 GS750E

    One of my carbs has a float post that was JB welded. Rather than repairing it by machining it off completely, drilling a new hole and making and inserting a new post, I was thinking to replace the carbs. I will post a thread in the wanted section but not sure everyone will see it and I will have some questions while sourcing the carbs anyway. For example, what model years can i be looking for for my '81 GS750E?....only 1981 or are other model years the same? I see some on eBay but they don't look so great and I trust guys on this forum more than eBay strangers. Does anyone have a set of carbs or know where I can source some?...Is there a GS carb guru on this forum who can lead me to the promised land?

    80/81/82 GS750E/L/T that I know for sure, on the 82, you would have to change out the choke linkage.

        1. Post your request in the Parts Wanted forum
        2. Tell us which carb body you need. You only need to replace the damaged one

          In my original post I did mention that I would also start another thread in the "wanted" section... which I did... but to me it seems that that section is read by mostly people who want something... not have something that someone else wants ...so that's why I posted it here and there. Its carb 1 but what is the likelihood that someone with carbs would sell just the one body?... definitely consider it if someone would split up a set but as the carbs need to be cleaned and rebuilt anyways I thought there might be some other things that come up so a whole set for the right price is also a possibility. if anyone has carb body 1 I'm all ears.

            Check with Steve or Chef. They both rebuild carbs and have parts on hand

            Quite a few members have excess parts.
