replace carburetors

[melton1313]

This is a very vague question but I am thinking of replacing my carburetors on my GS1000 with the carburetors of my Legends Race car. The race car carburetors on the car are off a 1250 Yamaha. My main reason for doing this is these carburetors are essentially brand new. Can anyone see any problems with this. Also they run great with air pods.

I think you need to try it, but in the spirit of recycling, send the car to me. I'll make sure and put it to good use. I'm sure I can make some old Mercedes parts fit it.

The main problem will be with spacing. Yamahas tend to have different spacing than Suzukis or Kawasakis, at least the old air cooled models. If you can solve that, the rest would be jetting and cable compatibility.

never mind the idle screw is in a different location and won't get past the chain tensioner. In response to recycling, hopefully I'll go racing again in the future. Nothing like wheel to wheel bumping.
