    If there are, how do you get to them?

      I think he's looking for screens, like little filters. I've never seen them anywhere.

        Hi DClark, yes there are micro screens fitted to Vintage 1100 Suzuki Mikuni BS34SS carbs. Its amazing how much better the bike runs when these are not blocked, don't ask! They are a domed shape screen and are part of the needle valve assembly. The GSX1100 service manual (99500-39010-01E) 4-11 shows the needle valve and screen assembly, cheers.

          Its a mini screen above the float needles? I don't get it...

            Huh... you learn something new every day. From the looks of the fiche, they should just be hanging out right above the needle, so you should see them any time you clean your carbs, right?

              Hi, here is the page from the GSX1100 Service Manual showing the micro screen and needle valve assembly on the left side of the page. The micro screen (needle valve mesh) is the white dome with a cross and the screen/mesh is under the cross. The fine mesh fuel screen inside the fuel tank attached to the fuel tap will stop most forms of solid contaminants reaching the carbs but not everything, cheers.

                So it's right inside the fitting where the gas line hits the carbs? Interesting...

                  So, how do I get to it? Do I wiggle the fuel fitting of the body and pick it out with a screwdriver?
                  I have a feeling that mine is clogged with crap.
