1980 GS1100 Needle jet cross reference

[prichmon]

Would anyone be able to help me cross reference the needle jet for a 1980 gs1100lt 16 valve? I damaged one when I was rebuilding the carbs.

Suzuki shows no longer available.

Mikuni needle jets current don't have the correct numbering. I need an "X-1". The current ones I see are in "O" to "R".

Would anyone have one I could purchase?

Spoke to MIkuni today. Mikuni says the BS series are OEM owned. So they are able to help...

Can anyone help?

Mikuni needle jet/emulsion tube X-1.

I got the part number from the microfiche. Mikuni says its only OEM and OEM shows discontinued.

Thank you for the reply.

I can post a pick tonight or tomorrow morning. I was attempting to get the needle jet to seat. It has a raised area ~270* around the top I used a punch and tapped a couple times and smashed the raised area. I then used a bench grinder to remove the lip.

Jetsrus says they can't help.

When I was installing the needle jet it got stuck. The NJ has a raised lip ~270* around the top which can be seen when looking into the bore of the carbs. I used a punch to help seat the NJ and flattened the lip. I then used a bench grinder to remove the damaged area.

I will get pics this evening.

Your best bet would be a parts carb or rack of carbs if you can find one. See what other models used the x1, you can search them too. I believe the Canadian model used x2 needle jets, maybe 4 of those...
