ID My Mikuni Carb
« on: March 05, 2026, 01:55:06 PM »
Can anybody tell me what bike these Mikuni carbs go to? I think it's a GS850, but I'm not familiar with Suzukis - I can't find the carb ID on it, either.

 I have a set of 26mm kawasaki mikunis and two sets of 29 smoothbores. They have the mechanical tops like the Honda keyhole carbs. I'm not much help with the stock Suzuki carbs.
  I put 36 flat slides on my GS1100 to replace the reportedly too small 29's. I have to say it ran pretty good for a rack of 29's that required sleeves on the carb rubbers to fit.
 Numbers should be on the carb body near the float bowl.

"Numbers should be on the carb body near the float bowl."   I agree, 'Should Be"...but I'm not seeing anything anywhere-I'll keep looking...I'm just not seeing any numbers anywhere.

Nice setup, looks like synchronize 1/2 and 3/4 and then the pairs to each other. Chokes look like what is on a Z1 Kawasaki.

I'd like to sell them if I can figure out what bike they go to - all I can find/know so far is they're Mikunis, I cannot find a number on them anywhere, and I've even gone over them with a magnifying glass!

I have seen earlier Suzuki Mikuni carbs with a design close to VM29 (Smoothbore)
