Defo not 750. They look like some 380 ones I was fiddling with recently. I haven't seen any 550 ones to comment on those but I still suspect they are 380.

They look like the set off of the GT550. The 380 ones are the same size but the thickness of the metal casting is much greater. The 380 carb is 24mm and the 550 is 28mm at the engine outlet. There is a code stamped under air intake side ( l think) of all carbs. look at the right one and the code for the 550 should be either 34110R, or 34620R or 34621R.
Now where did I leave that anorak?

Looking at the pics again it maybe looks like the top carbs are proportionally slightly further apart indicating a bigger gap between cylinders and hence a 550. It's difficult to be sure with the pictures being so much larger than mine.
Your useful coding information though will take the guesswork out of it. Thumbs Up

Well, they are 28mm outlet, and the markings on the right hand side carb is 34621R, so 550 then ? Thumbs Up

Wacko! Your carbs come off of a gt550m 1975 and possibly the later a and b models.
There is a Suzuki Resources site on the net which has the suzuki carb manual that you can download and print out if you wish.
If you're doing these carbs up for use, watch out for the jet sizes as these changed radically as the models went on.

I had a spare set of those things on my Stand at last years Bristol Classic Bike show. The rubber boots cost silly money new ( erm, something crazy like £12+ each ? )
So I priced the whole carb set up at £50. Had Folk all day long picking them up , asking the price , and then putting them down again and walking away. :smt102

Though , that was partly the area. Those lot down in West Country don`t seem to spend much at shows. But , deffo part of the "Suzuki" disease !!! .....I find Honda people like that too !
