    You order the O-rings too? Please don't forget.

        You don't happen to have any more info on this time frame do you? It'd be interesting to narrow down a "birthdate" for my bike. It's in extremely good condition as it has been garaged all its life

          If you haven't already been over to Robert Barr's website, might take a look.

          He's got a nice deal on the proper (nitrile) o-rings that'll fit your new boots and some nice stainless pretties that'll be more than pretty the next time you need to get those boots off of there. One of the first things I had to do on mine.

          Here's the link

            Can you find a readable VIN on there? I know there's online services that'll translate that for you. Some of the guys here might already know how (not me, though).

            I found this - http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vin/suzuki.asp

            Didn't have a VIN to type in and see if the service was free or paid.

              Thanks, but unfortunately my bike doesn't have a 17 digit VIN so the form won't work for me.

              After some crazy battles with the screws on the original boots I finally got everything back together today. There still seems to be an airleak somewhere, it will idle along at 1100rpm or so but as soon as I twist the throttle it shoots up to 3-4000rpm and sits there. The throttle assembly seems to be working fine.

              My only guess is the boots going into the airbox. One of them didn't seem to snap into the airbox just right, and I assume they are the 1977 originals too

              Just to make sure I'm on the same page, the hoses mentioned in my original post should just be there right? I did not cap them off or anything

              Edit: I forgot to mention two things that might be relevant - I have a K&N filter. Not the pods, just a replacement that fits in the airbox. Also, I have after market exhaust, though I don't know the brand. The person I got the bike from put about 5k miles on the bike with that exhaust and paid a lot of money having the carbs rebuilt so I'm assuming (yeah, i know...) that the carbs were adjusted to account for that.
