    carburettor questions for a 77-78 gs550

    hello, im working on a buddies 77 or 78 gs550 and i need to know the stock jet sizes.

    it has roundslide mukinis but my micrometer walked off on me so i dont know what size they are.

    he put pods on it and chopped the ends of the exhaust off for more noise so its running lean.

    any suggestions on what sizes to go to would also help as well.:-D

    These carbs are VM22s. i.e. 22mm venturi. I can tell you the standard sizes for jets, etc. but I guess you don't want to know that. You need to know the jet sizes for the modifications done to the bike. What type of pods are they. Are there any muffler or silencers on the bike or did he just cut the pipes off in front of the silencer. Is it 4 into 1 or two separate systems, i.e. 2 x 2 into 1. We need more info.
    Cheers. Don.

          Jet sizes for most GS carbs is listed in the sticky at the top of this forum. Take a peek and good luck.
