So I just bought my first motorcycle (wanted to start a new hobby)it only would sputter when I first got it but when I went to take off the carbs I realized the carbs are VM28s rather than stock VM22s should the bike still be able to run with these carbs? The PO also put Air Pod filters and removed the air box. Did I bite off more than I can chew??? 😅

28's are pretty big for a 550. Suzuki used 26's on the 750/850/1000 so that should give you some idea.Ed
To measure is to know.

The 28s should have much wider spacing that 22s.

So in between the boot and head is like a metal block reducer that reduces the opening size. I’ll try to upload a pictureLast edited by Guest; 07-24-2019, 06:56 PM.Comment

How the boot sat on the reducerComment

They aren't by chance 29mm smoothbores?
Seems like a lot of fab work to to use 28s.
Stock engine? Is it an old track bike?2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

It is stock engine and the previous owner didn’t mention it was an old track bike. I just thought they were 28mm because the boots have vm28-200 stamped on them. Here’s a pic of the carbsComment
