    GS 850 Carb Rebuild

    I recently bought a ‘82 GS 850 GZ (US) with the Mikuni carbs. The bike set for about a year with gas in the carbs so I cleaned and rebuilt them using the “carb cleanup series”. The series was great and I had no trouble at all. However, now that I have a nice set of shiney clean carbs, I have a couple of questions about how to get my bike running.

    1. How do I set the Air Screws (as refered to on page on pg. 25 of the carb cleanup series.)?

    2. Where do the hoses from the “T” vents refered to on pg 3 of carb cleanup series terminate?

    Thanks for any help.

    To get the bike started I'd start 1.5 to 2 turns out.
    The vent hoses are routed over the airbox to open air so they can "vent" They drop down in between the carb airbox and the filter box.

      I have the same bike (Well almost mines an 83) and I have my mixture screw out 2 turns. 1.5 was to lean for me but my bike has a crappy aftermarket exhaust :P

      By rights the drain hoses go between the carbs OVER the air box down the little bracket behind the airbox and to the gap you will see. I on the other hand ran mine under the airbox two the second bracket and out.

        Here's a picture of my hose

        Hello Mr. Bob Stith,

        In this picture you will clearly see the vent hose from between #1 and #2 carb routed over the airbox and through the guide on the back side. The othe hose does the same thing on the other side. I hope this helps.

          If the picture above is from your bike, you might want to do some dusting.:-D

              Mr. zuzu,

              Yep, she's a pig right now. I haven't had the time to give her a decent bath lately. I'll have to make some time this weekend. The poor girl has been "rode hard and put away wet". 8-[

              Besides, nobody ever looks under the seat and tank!

              Thank you for your indulgence,
