    Carb Identification

    I have just pulled the carbs from my 79 GS550L. The bike was purchased with carbs that had just been overhauled with new kits etc. The problem is they were not the correct carbs for the 550. I now have a set of carbs that I do not know how to identify. The Suzuki mechanic thinks they might be from an 850 but he also says there are no model numbers or other forms of identification on the carbs. Does anyone know how I might be able to identify the model Suzuki that these carbs actually fit...Or can direct me to some source that can help. Thanks

    Can you post a picture??? pre 1980 should have slide type carbs measure the opening 850/1000 would have 26mm carbs 550 would have 22mm maybe 24mm

      This is what 79 550 carbs should look like

        I am hoping to have the bike home tomorrow (11-6) and will try to post photo. The bike now has ( I trust) the correct 550 carbs. That will leave
        me with a set that I need to identify. Thanks for the responses
