There was an article on this on the ancient site... It's converted.
Cheers for that, interesting read! So my drag build thread about breather pipes to stop wind deflection was right
And i also run blanked (#0) jets for this circuit, which is best for non airbox running
Not answered the above Q's yet though?

it could also be the jet for the cold start circuit, which should be pressed in the plastic float holder. Compare with other carbs' parts to be sure.
I thought the powerjet was not press fit but screw in?
Correct on the powerjet
But the cold start thing? I'd assume it would have 4 off?
-
and another conundrum. The springs with the plastic insert suggests Dynojet, & 102 jets are pretty small too?
But the needles are looking standard ish, & also severely worn just below the plastic spacer!
-
Well at the bottom of the bowls there's a tiny jet that screws in & passes to the pipe that runs up side of carbs x4. These are all still there so not that.
Have looked all over the bowls & bodies, & there just doesn't appear to be anything missing. All 4 stripped & all parts matching & accounted for.
-
Whatever it is, there's only 1 of em (floating about at least) I'll have a thorough look at all of the inners on the bodies now i've taken all the removable parts off.
Also it has 102 Mains in, they sound like Dynojet numbers? The needle jet is very chunky & stumpy end, not pointy like i expected.
And the slide has 3 holes, middle for the needle & a hole either side!
-
Started stripdown & all as expected on carbs 1&2. Then open float bowl on 3 & found this rattling round. Not a clue what it is?
M6 nut for scale, no markings on it & everything else there as expected?
-
So you can see that the throttle lever from Carb 3>2 has been cut & welded longer (Red)
Mounting bar cut & extended (yellow)
And fuel pipe T piece altered (green)
looks like plenty of spares will be needed to get these back to working operation
-
£90! Guy said he'd had em for 5 years & never used em. Bought for a Pinto project?
Here's the other side
-
Sussed it, i thought the rod was broke (red), but it's the flat bar that's missing 1/2 of it (yellow oblong)!
-
Only just bought them, so gonna have em stripped & cleaned first
-
They're not seized, & it actually looks like it was made like that. Reason i queried it!
-
What's this choke bit all about? Only 1 & 2 are on the rod?
-
Advance the timing a little to try to cut the kickback happening
There's a file somewhere giving details to sort it on GS/GSX's
-
Been her myself, the part is hard to find & expensive.
Best off sourcing another Alt & swapping the whole lot out.
IIRC all the Alts are the same but the gear has different teeth counts, so get one & if necessary swap the gear
-
Not at all, i acquired the engine whole, & as i thought unmolested
-
I'm with your original thought, the outers have gotta get more cooling i'd have guessed? Plus the K/L/M/N didn't have differing sizes IIRC?
-
Oddly Fowlers list 110 mains for ML & MR then 112.5 for the LH & RH on the GSX1100F
And 127.5 to 130 on the GHJ same as above, larger on the outside?

For the road, I feel the benefit of a big bore kit every time I ride.
Cams, I only felt when I was in the mood to cane it. Most of the time they made the bike less good to ride. I've taken my Kent race cams out and sold them.
I know, i bought them
Already Roger U. big bored, so i'm going both

And can anyone explain why the GHJ & the 1100F have differing sizes of jets, 2x middles generally 2.5 smaller than the outers?
-
And another baffler, Fowlers fische shows the top rail, adjuster & tops as the same. Only the bottom rail don't have the middle carb cutout.
So maybe after all, they are GSX1100F carbs?
-
Well going on the bottom rail i would say J model, but the top rail is slightly different. Also the tickover screw mech is different to all the GHJ models?
-
Cheers, i'll have a look
-
Should have done that while they were off, but they're all assembled on bike now
-
Having looked at jet kits etc, i noticed these carbs aren't the same as GSX1100F ones. I assumed they belonged to the engine they came with.
Can anyone ID them properly? They are tin tops without the balancing spigots?

I can't see any obvious parts pressed into them? Got a pic where they should be?
