Carbs, interchangeability
« on: October 10, 2011, 03:28:28 AM »
I was wondering if any of the different parts of the carburetor is interchangeable. Like can the inner left be used as an outer right? Also are there any other bikes that use the same carburetor as the gsf400?

The GS500 ;)!
I think the DR350 and DR800 also have the same carbs.

Oh wow. Thanks the gs500 looks identical! Thanks. Also do you know if the position of the carbs are interchangeable? Or is each one specific to its original cylinder?

I think the carburetor bodies are pretty interchangeable.  The difference as far as location will mainly be the linkages and maybe the drain screws.

The gsf ones see look pretty identical. Do you think I'd be able use the carbon body from a gs500 with what I have that works from my stock carbs?

I meant the carb body. The stupid auto correct changed it lol. I managed to find and buy a complete set. Thanks for all of the help though.
