Can't get enough of these carbs..

[Anonymous]

Hey All,
Back again, I'm one of the many still fighting with the 79 GS 1000L carbs. I've tried all the suggestions & none seem to help. I'm going to remove the carbs again & resoak them for a couple of days & see if that helps. I only soaked them several hours worring about the plastic parts. I have another question, I have a 79 GS 850 I got for parts. I haven't tried this yet but would the stock airbox off it fit & provide enough air flow for my 79 GS 1000 ? It appears that if might be easier to wrestle into the area that held the stock box on the 1000. I would have to go back to my stock #95 mains from #120's probably. I'm not so sure I want pods on anyway if I'm going on long rides as unstable as the weather is in Wyoming. The 1000 has a Suzuki 4 into 1 exhaust & I don't have the stock ones. Will this combo possibly work, 850 stock airbox, #95 jets, & really clean carbs???
Thanx for all your help...
God Bless,

Hy TJ,

If it's any consolation, I rode the other day in a soaking rain for hours, with my pod filters I had no problem. Not trying to talk you out of the stock air box mind you, just letting you know I was worried too, and it turned out fine.

Same here. My pods run fine in the rain all day.
My rain pants however... :roll:
Lets just say my butt gets real wet.

I have no info on what to do with the "Airbox" setup.
I threw mine away when building the bike's carbs and never looked back.
