77 GS750 Carbs

[Anonymous]

What different model bike's carbs will work ok on a 77 GS750. Mine are toast and I'm having trouble locating a replacement set. I know there are a few modern carbs that should work I just don't know what models to look for.

Thanks

I can't help with the newer carb part of the question, but have you checked eBay for a set of stock carbs? They've been showing up recently; I just won the auction for a set a few days ago. You'll probably find newer sets there, too, once you find out what will work.

Yeah, I've been trying on Ebay for awhile but I'm always getting outbid at the last minute.

:? Yup, I know that feeling. You missed the set I bought, though; they were listed as '77 carbs, and I was the only bidder! Keep trying; demand must be going down. That's not normally my kind of luck! 8O

I'm sure you could adapt something from maybe a newer gsx 750 just depends how mech inclined you are Maybe check with http://www.SUDCO.com they may be able to make a sugestion. Or check with http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com

additional note if you are planning to completely disasemble them you could use carbs from pre 1980 GS750,850,1000 just use original rack mount and jets for proper fit. BIG problem with ebay is that we are biding on parts for our GS bikes so quite often we are biding against one another for GS parts it is going to happen. We need a forum catorogy for ebay ID's
