GS1000G/GS1000L carb difference!!!!

[feelergaugephil]

I have a GS1000G and bought a mint set of GS1000L carbs to replace mine.
As far as I can see everything is exactly the same apart from:- on "G" carbs there is a air setting screw in the front (close to intake)
On the "L" there is no screw! just a small cover with a small hole!
How do I fine tune these carbs????????????
I got it running, but it smokes a bit! It's too rich! I need to lean it out!
Any ideas? Phil.

Hi

Try to remove the plastic cover and look underneat.
I have been a cover on the other carbs as vell.

Hi

Forgot to tell, the screw is adjusting the gas, not air.

Turning it out gives more gas.(petrol)

They are not plastic, I'm sure it's a pressed in metal cap, If I prize it out....will there be a SCREW underneath it??????????
Because if there isn't, it's going to look a mess all scratched up after I spent so much time rebuilding the engine and looking like new!

If there is a screw under there, can I adjust them out to lean it out???
As I rebuilt the engine and have 180lbs (each cylinder) and it's smoking and really wont idle (tick over) 100%. Phil.

The little cover is on some models so that the idle mixture could be factory set to match pollution controls, and the user could not interfere with it. Removing it so you can adjust/tune the mixture these days is normal.

Perfect! I drilled out the caps and located the screws!!
So, as soon as my tank comes back from the painters I will be getting the carbs tuned up!
By the way! all the screws were tightened down and only had 1.5 turns out......

Near completion

Once the tank comes back and all the other stuff I will be posting PICS.
Hopefully within 2-3 weeks.
