Engine side casing circular badges removal

[ukjules]

GS550E 1980.

Anyone know how I can get the engine
side casing circular badges off to put
on another engine without them ?
Heat gun ?

(I have an engine swap to do from my trusty
old one - oil leak I just can never find or stop)
to another engine apparently re done by
an old obsessive engineer to perfection.
bought off Ebay years ago.

2nd quest .... is there a gasket between the carb
engine side to head ?

1: Buy new...they are pretty cheap..
2: you mean the o-ring under carb boot?

Heat gun will work

Thanks will try the heat gun method before I buy new.

engine side carb gasket , seal ?
I mean there is carb , rubber boot, metal thing
that attaches to head. under that is there a gasket
or o ring seal ?

An O-ring.They go hard and crack over time. Common cause of air leaks.

You could try to find generic ones, buy new from Suzuki, or, for probably less money, buy a whole carburettor O-ring kit from Robert Barr.
