Finally pulling the carbs apart. Trying to follow the CV rebuild tutorial but some slight variances obviously. Basically I'm taking out every brass piece lol!

Now in the tutorial is says to take this part out by pushing it with the main jet. mine's threaded and cant push this through. Is this the part its talking about? or do I even need to remove this?

looking great! doing most of the reassembly now. waiting on aluminum fuel T's to show up. fresh gaskets and o-rings are on.
 
Sirius Consolidated has the bowl gaskets in a 4 pack for 10.00!!! Youll never find them cheaper anywhere else. I use them and haven't had any leakjers.

Go to the home page and at the to where it says make select Suzuki. where its says parts click on carb parts. Think they are on page 6 or 7.

Whoa, those gaskets are super cheap. Thanks for posting that.
 
so it's all assembled!! buuuuttt... won't start :mad:

i did the full tear down, and reassembly with new gaskets, o-rings from cycleorings.com (who is amazing!!!), and I also put on a new Stator as recommended.

I can't get it to turn over. and it did a couple loud backfire's and that's it.

wtf?

How can it backfire if it's not turning over?

Check to make sure you have fire on all four plugs.
Also, make sure the airbox is installed correctly with NO air leaks.

Did you rejet the carbs for the pods?
If not you'll need to. That or get a factory airbox. Many times these bikes wont even start(much like yours) if the intake system is altered or defective.
 
Where did you set the big idle knob in the center...or did you set it? Set it till it just touches to the linkage and then go in about 1 1/2 to 2 turns. Too little and it wont want to start...too much and the same thing. Idle setting in relation to actually starting the bike is relevant. And do not twist the throttle....hands off. Choke and starter button. If it starts on choke but wont idle the turn the idle knob in a little till it does. If it starts and the Rs are high then back off a little.

When I try to start my bikes and there's a loud 'bang' it's usually because I've messed something up with the timing. I'm not sure if you bike was running fine before or not but if the bike is new to you I would check the timing. Just a thought.

I did not rejet the carbs. I don't know what to which jets to replace and how to know the new ones are the right ones.

Make sure your petcock is on prime to get the carb bowls full of gas. If what Chuck said doesn't work either, make sure your plugs are connected to the proper cylinder, if not you'll get a result similar to a timing problem like Azr mentioned.

I think your best bet would be to find a factory airbox. It takes a bit of skill and know how to jet the carbs.

Just keep in mind while you're messing around with it, it wont run worth(if at all) a crap if the carbs aren't tuned for your setup. Everything else can be perfect(I.E. petcock, plugs etc) but it still will not perform correctly.
