They look to me like Mikuni VMs with an a/p. Someone will surely confirm or deny this!
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Well found out they are VM26 with pump because they have a second diaphragm on the bottom. Since mine is a LTD that would make sense.

Though not a video there is a pretty good write up here on cleaning a set of vm26ss carbs off of a Suzuki. www.thegsresources.com/garage/docs/vm_carb_rebuild.pdf

As to which set of carbs you have there should be an ID stamped just below the choke lever. If you post what yours are we should be able to tell you just what you have. Ssee attached for location of ID - please note the pic is of a set of vm24ss carbs and not a set of vm26 or vm28 carbs - but the location of the ID stamp should be the same.

Looking at how thin the walls are on the intakes where the airbox boots slide on, they look like 28's. Measuring those openings with a set of calipers will tell you for sure.
