[a_man0311]

So after several months dealing with chem-dip, work etc i was able to finish my carb rebuild and viola, she runs like a dream! Thanks to everyone here, especially BassCliff, for all of your info, help and support. The bike is still in somewhat rough condition so i'll be updating the work I do on getting it back into shape. Thanks again this forum made this project possible!

Thank you for your indulgence,

OK some pics and video

I've uploaded a video of my second time starting it up. The old choke cable is completely seized so I had to use vicegrips to hold the choke open. If anyone knows where to get those cables I'd love to find out!

Here are a few shots of the carbs ready for the tank:

Dude, you should have put that video in the searchable area in youtube! I'd have loved to have seen it when I was searching last night!

I'm on the lookout for a choke cable too. My local shop claims to be able to get a motion pro choke cable assembly for $20 or so, and the suzuki dealer in town says that it's part number 58400-45100, and it runs 32.44 plus tax..

Looks like a good project.

UMMMMMMM...the next time you get the urge to pull the float bowls, put the two shiny bowls back where they belong. #1 and #4...

Good work and more pics will be wanted as you continue.

Thanks for the info!

Dave - I was wondering why some of them were shiny and the others flat. Makes sense you can't see the dull ones if they are in the center.

I've updated the video so it's public!
