    Carb issue

    ok things started to go ok i got a screw extractor and replacement hex head screws for my stuck screw problem.. i disassembled labeled and sorted the parts by carb.. but however on the last carb i took apart, while removing the float the pin was stuck so i pushed with a pin pusher then switched to a screw driver and back again the pin was still stuck... well while doing this, one of the arms that holds the float in place cracked and snapped off.. i know this cant be repaired.. what i am getting at is does anyone know where i can get a replacement carb body for #1???

    Do a search for float pin post, this topic has been covered before. Several people have offered fixes for it. If you can't repair the post, start a thread in the parts wanted section. Someone probably has a carb body laying around.

            No need to buy a carb rack, you can fix the broken post.

                I can't answer about ANY 32mm racks, but for the most part yes.
                linkages will vary and the jetting may have to be changed.

                    The PO repaired one on mine with some wire: tapped a hole perpendicular to the existing hole down on the unbroken part, made a groove in the top of the broken part, looped the wire around and tightened it down. Looks like he glued it, too. Seems ok.

                        Did you try ebay? Carbs for these bikes are not that hard to find.

                            I don't know what you are searching under, but I found these 2 listings in about 5 minutes. Both will work on your bike.


                            http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GS750...1%7C240%3A1318


                            http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/83-su...ptZMotorcycles_

                            Use search terms suzuki gs carbs or suzuki gs carburetors or gs750 gs850 carburetors. These carbs are not that hard to find. You might even have a motorcycle salvage yard near you.

                            Here are some salvage yards in NJ, try these..
