I've fought my carbs for way too long, and I've had it! Does anybody have a set of good running carbs for a 79 XS11 special.

There are a few folks on here that would probably be willing to sell their services to get your carbs running nicely. Not sure who at this point, but you might look that direction, rather than junking your carbs just because they are frustrating.1980 XS850SG - Sold
1981 XS1100LH Midnight Special (Sold) - purchased 9/29/08
Fully Vetterized and Dynojet Kit added, Heated Grips, Truck-Lite LED headlight, Accel Coils, Irridium plugs, TKAT Fork Brace, XS850LH Final Drive & Black SS Brake lines from Chacal.
Here's my web page devoted to my bike! XS/XJ User's Manuals there, and the XJ1100 Service Manual and both XS1100 Service manuals (free download!).

Hey, TBishop...
Not sure where in Florida you're located... I believe Cobia also lives in Florida, but not sure where, or if you guys are anywhere close to one another. JAT
Sorry to hear those carbs have been such a PITA to ya. Hope things start goin' your way soon.

Perhaps?
Perhaps you could send them to one of the carb guru's here on the site. I am sure someone would probably check them out for you. Or better yet, I'll bet someone may even loan you a set to ensure it is a carb problem. I have a couple of sets 78/79??78 XS1100E Standard

Mine has two broken float posts on the same carb.
I'm just through with messing with them. I'm trying to get it on the road before I have to deploy again soon
