BS32SS Float Fuel Level Gauge Wanted

Forum Mentor
Working on rebuilding the carburetors of my 81 GS650L. I have set the float levels per the spec with calipers, but would like to confirm with an actual measurement of the fuel level.

I tried to order the oem fuel level gauge from Bike Bandit, Suzuki part no. 09913-14511, but received a response that it was backordered and they had no idea when it would be available.

I saw that Z1 had something similar but sounds like it is intended for the earlier VM carburetors.

Any suggestions on where to find this part or how to make one up. Drain screw size and thread that would be available as a threaded nipple somewhere?

Thanks,
Dave

That will work. Its pretty easy to make your own if you have a couple of extra drain screws or even short bolts with the same thread you could drill out and epoxy a piece of copper or brass tube on it to attach your hose.

I like those but at $12.95 each I'd rather make my own for spare drain screws. If you don't have any, then ask around. I'm sure that someone on here would be glad to sell you a few.;)
 
Awhile back, someone posted a link to McMaster's website which had zerk fittings with the proper thread. Pull out the spring and ball from the back, and presto. Only a few bucks for a dozen, which included shipping. I have some, but I can't find the link right now... I'll see if I can hunt it down later...
 
I went ahead and ordered the ebay version. Save me some trouble of finding all of the components to put one together although the zerk fitting idea probably would have worked pretty easily too if I hadn't already placed this order.

Thanks,
Dave
