1980 Suzuki GS1000G Carburetor Rebuild

Removal and rebuild of carburetors on 1980 1981 and 1982 Suzuki GS1000G Carburetors. This bike uses two different sets of carbs depending on model. This video works with the Mikuni BS34SS carburetors.

Does not include drilling and removal of air mixture screw. I was going to cover that in a second part to this video but the footage got corrupted and I will have to re-shoot when I have another set of these carbs in.

this seems pretty similar to my gs750e 83 carb, ill have to double check, but this looks promising. very detailed, and good camera work my guy

Just got my brothers 80 gs1000g. He passed away in November at the age of 40. Bike has been sitting for 15 years so I'm gonna start restoring it. I have tons of memories on this bike with my brother. I may have to message you for some help 😃

Had a 1978 GS1000. Never did the carbs on it. It was new when I got it, and I sold it a couple years later. Had a 1980 KZ1000 and did the carbs on it. I'm not a mechanic but I am pretty good at following instructions.

I see you didn't remove the float assembly pivot pin on camera...it's a difficult procedure. Pin impact tool is helpful there, as it's easy to break stanchions. Looks like a screwdriver with a sharpened end, you push, it loads pressure, lets go and knocks pin out.

Great video, thank you. I need help, and I have a question if I may bother you?

I am rebuilding the same carburetors on the bottom side of the carburetors where you put the Jets in and the needle and seat in. In fact directly on the other side of the carburetor from where the needle and seat is, there is a hole with an aluminum plug in it.

I think these are called Welch plugs, the set of carburetors I have are missing one of these plugs, and I'm having an extremely hard time trying to find the right part or even the part number do you have any advice? Please 🙏 and thank you

So my issue right now on my 1982 GS850GL is that:


1) the T-joints are leaking fuel. Should I just purchase whole new t joints from partzilla for $20~$30 each or is this an o-ring package that will do the trick.


2) the bike only runs on starter fluid, I figured the jets might be way too lean since I haven't rejetted since I put pod filters on, but I wasn't sure if it could be related to something else I didn't know about.

[davidkettlewell]

No sure why you did not show removal of float pin...they are hard to get out. How did you do it?

U NEED A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO CHECK NUMBERS, DIDNT REMOVE NEEDLE JET, AND FLOAT HEIGHTS.

Hello I have a 1980 Suzuki ge1000 it only has 3 lines coming from the carbs I can’t find the main fuel line I don’t know what happens to it I bought the bike for 800 dollars from an old man he said he bought it and never used it

[THINGS.I.DO.]

Dude where is "Replacing the CV carb air screw and card sync" video as you promised at the end of this video?

[joshsutcliffe]

Wide open my 80 falls on its face. Other than that it runs ok. No air leaks. Think it's a main jet? Also how do I richen it up since these carbs have the air mixture screw instead of the fuel mixture screw.

Cómo puedo saber si está inyectando combustible ya que los míos no lo asen ya los lave y todo párese bien

[santiagoGamezz]

dumb question are these carbs the same as the 1981 suzuki gs650g?

[likeitornotbut]

Great video; I'm pretty sure I'm buying a 1000 gs tomorrow, wish I could had seen you set the float height, have to look for another video somewhere on how to do it.

[KarlKKC]

strange question, i have a 1980 gs1100e and i can not find were the fuel vacuum line goes to on the engine its had a new tank and not running right, usually there is a nozzle on inlets but these are all capped off is there a vacuum on the engine do you know. Its having my life right now haha

[jacksonmehoff]

Do you know where i can get fuel tubes for a 78 gs1000. I have a "T" but need to the 2 straight pieces. Would buy a bunch i have 2 78 1KE, 2 79 1KE, a 79 L model and 3 gs750s. Will be starting on getting them up to date soon.

I need some help man. I bought a 1980 Suzuki gs1000g as a project bike. I've rebuilt carbs and I'm trying to put all of the lines back together my issue is I have 4 ports on the carbs and 3 on the tank. I didn't undo any of the lines so I have no idea what line goes to what port. Any help for this?

[rolinns]

Why did you show how full of crud the float bowl was, then set it aside and proceed to call the float itself the float bowl 4 times in a row??

[nightkast]

How did you remove the float pins??? You just cut the video and your float was out hahaha. Mine are stuck!

I have a 82 gs650. I can't remember where the line coming off the fuel sending unit goes. I think it's a breather routed to the bottom but I was wondering if you might be able to give me some direction
