Title: Carburetor Kit (not the interior)
Post by: SomeDudeOnline on February 04, 2016, 05:40:32 AM
I've started working to get my 99 GS500E going again but my Carburetors are a lot worse than I anticipated. I cleaned the inside before it sat for five-seven years so the interior looks okay but pretty much all of the rubber and plastic oh the outside of the Carbs need to be replaced. I've found pretty much all of the parts I need on this site http://www.cmsnl.com/suzuki-gs500e-1999-x-usa-e03_model34234/partslist/ but I'd like to just buya  kit that has all of the rubber and plastic for simplicity and to eliminate any error I might make. Does anyone know if this type of kit exists somewhere?

The parts I'm talking about are on the Carburetor page, numbers 15, 27, 45, 46, 47, 53, and maybe 51 & 54. There might be a couple other things but I think that's all of it.

You might be better off checking ebay for an entire set of carbs. I ended up with two sets, stripped both, and merged them into one working set for less than half of the money than it would have cost to buy the required spare parts individually.
