    Stock jet sizes with VM 26 carbs on a '79 GS 850???

    Anyone know the original jet sizes for a '79 GS 850?
    I'm thinking that should be about right as a starting point on my 750 once the 850 cylinders are on?
    Don't want it too lean while I'm breaking it in.
    '78 750 with stock airbox and pipes at least untill the engine is run in.

    Thanks.

        Thanks guys...

        Sounds identical to the 750, so I'll just run it and see what happens.
