George:

I must apologize I got the model and make wrong. As a kid in Venezuela I was
a Bultaco trials rider and not up to speed on the japanese street bikes.

The carbs came from a Yamaha XS 750 not Suzuki. They were also used on the
1100cc bike in a set of 4 and a set of 2 for the smaller bikes.
It is a constant velocity diaphragm type carb.
The carb model is the Mikuni BS34-11 2H7-00 CD
(34 denoting the throat size in mm)  I believe I figured that ideal for the
13b would be 3 carbs in 36mm but this was as close as I could get.

They are Mikuni type II carbs that were stock on the 1978-79 XS 750 bikes
the 76-77 XS used Mikuni type 1 carbs and the 80-81 XS used Hitachi carbs.
The type II carbs will fit all years and models of the Yamaha XS and
generaly considered the best of all the three types used. They are easy to
work on and parts are readily available.

A good guide on carb sizes and what bikes wear them may help you pinpoint
the right model and zise to look for, for your single rotor.
