    Please Help Jet my GS for Open Exhaust

    Thanks so much for your replies! Sorry for my late response So, ya, I found an old school mechanic who loves these old Suzukis. He said, as some of you have, that the original jetting would likely be fine and rich enough with the Rhinehart exhaust i put on the bike. We put the original jetting...

    Hi, yes, I have been told by others that the exhaust won't affect the jetting much at all - also been told that the stock jetting was a little on the large side for richness

    Maybe you have been lucky - I sure haven't. Perhaps certain years were a problem then the issue was remedied? He worked for Suzuki when the bikes were new and said they replaced them often only a few years after new - they would overheat and get dark goo on them or something?

    It is a new air filter that was pre-oiled and I have brand new boots that connect to the carbs. Thanks for the set-up tips

    Please Help Jet my GS for Open Exhaust

    Hi all. THANK YOU for your replies. I will let you know what has been happening since you replied - I haven't checked back in a long time. Since 2 mechanics have suggested that dynojetting would fix the problem i bought a kit and installed to no avail. Since THAT waste of time, I have found the...

    Please Help Jet my GS for Open Exhaust

    All fuel issues have been checked and remedied. New Petcock, no kinked lines, float heights adjusted and a dynojet kit installed. Issue persists. Is there any possibility there is an electrical issue that only shows an issue when you get riding? - ie you idle and rev fine but get out on the road...

    Is this a Jetting Issue?

    Nope. I haven't had it running well on the road yet. Sounds like a hot rod after warm up in the yard and blinking the throttle tho. Take it out on the road and it runs like crap and dies. A dynojet kit has been suggested by 2 mechanics now since it seems like a fuel issue. Stock airbox, open...

    Is this a Jetting Issue?

    So i have rebuilt the carbs with spec jets (cant recall size) on my '82 GS650 GLZ BUT have now chosen to go a different direction with this build and Bobbify. I have [basically open] Reinhart exhaust and the original airbox with foam filter. Please help me calculate the jets and give me all the...

    Thanks, I agree its something fuel related for sure. By fuel tap I suspect you mean the petcock? Ijust put a new OEM one on so I doubt thats it. Float height and jets is what I'll have to work on next. I really appreciate the reply!

    What coil? 2 ohm? 3 ohm 5 ohm?

    I've ordered Z1's 7mm copper core wires with new caps. I have about 6 orders/purchases coming in the mail from eBay, Z1, Bike Bandit, Amazon and Wish to finish my '82 650L build. Shipping is so dang slow right now and our riding season will be all but gone by the time I'm finished. Thanks for...
