hessyx2 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Hey i just picked up a i believe to be a 1978 yamaha xs 1100 the manuf. date on the frame says 10/78 so i dont if that means its a 79 then or 78 i dont have the title yet so i cant look at that. when i bought it the carbs where off in a box i got home tried to put them on and it seems like im missing something cause the carburators dont fit the intake boots so i think im missing a piece or maybe there not the right carbs any ideas mikuni kogyo on the side of the carb and mic on the other side <br> <br> <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsnownw Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure what the heck those carbs are, but I do NOT think they are stock. They came with Mikunis, but I don't think those. I'm almost positive that the stock carbs were BS34's, and those are not it. I did some research and it looks like you have a set of VM carbs, like the ones here: http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/Mikuni_OEM_VM_Series_4_Cyl_Car_C555.cfm Edited April 9, 2011 by johnsnownw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
