    Gs1000e carbs help

    Hello firstly i would like to say hello. New bloke here
    I have just brought some KZ1000 cv carbs to fit to my gs1000e 1980.
    mad maybe, but the are mint and they fit like a glove. They are jetted up for the KZ and i want to know if anyone has fitted then to a gs and if so what jets can i use?
    The jets in are as follows
    Main Jet - 127.5
    Needle Jet - Y1
    Jet Needle - 5GN45
    Pilot Jet - 37.5



    Thanks Ian

    Ian,

    There is a carbs spec sticky at the top of this forum that will tell you what jets came stock on the GS carbs for the US market. That should put you in the ballpark.

    To measure is to know.

      If it's the same as the 80 1000G you'll need smaller mains & that's about it from what I can see.

      Any mods on the bike? I have some Dynojet jets that would likely do the trick if you're interested.

          More help

          There is another question, from my old carbs i had the fuel delivery pipe and one other small pipe going bac to the fuel tap to operate the diaphram, on the KZ carbs there are 4 small manifolds to go back to the fuel tap one is blanked off with a rubber cap which leaves 3 open, do i just blank 2 more off and just have one going back?
          Its hard not having seen the set up on a kwack.

          sorry to be a pain, ian
