Question about carb swap

[Henry]

I hope someone can help me, I have a 1983 Suzuki GS1100e and I need carbs. I have an opportunity tunity to get carbs off of a 1981 Suzuki GS 850, is this an even swap, I’m pretty sure I’ll have to    re-jet or will it not work

850 uses BS32's, so id say its not a switch.

I have a set of 1100e carbs that will need some cleaning if you are interested

I believe the carb spacing between the (gsx11e 16v in UK GS over there) and the gs850 8v are different

if it helps, I used a set of 32mm carbs off a GSX750 (1980) on my GSX1100 (1983 engine) as a temporary measure till I sorted the 34mm carbs out.  and it ran good with no carb mod's !!!!!

I've got a set of the gsx1100 (16v) 36mm carbs for sale but I think it might be expensive to send over the pond?

? ? ? ? - those didn't have 36mm's only 34's. It would appear that Suzuki San standardised the inlet spacings on the GS / GSX 16v engines through to end of the oil boilers so most will swap around.

I believe the 36mm are the gsx1100efe carbs but would fit the older e/et
