Carburetur parts question...Sorry if it's a repeat!

Perhaps they look like the ones in posts 3 & 4...

I suspect that they do! But when I went in to find out the specifics of the parts that were needed (What with the whole "slide needle" confusion), the part they showed was #40 in the attached picture! It was not available when they searched originally, but it's in stock now both in my favorite parts sites, and on their supplier site, so it looks like I'm back in business shortly.

What locations show it as in stock?

The shop checked their parts source and it was available on there, and I found it in stock on Suzukipartshouse.Com as well.

Yep, just checked again and they seem to be available from all of the online locations. Good to know. At $18 a piece, they are a bit pricey.

So...On to the new phase!

We've moved beyond carb issues apparently...

The symptoms previously experienced while riding were:

sort of a quick stuttering in power/engine operation
later became intermittent loss of power
bike wasn't revving as well/smoothly

Initially, when those symptoms first appeared, they were intermittent, almost like a hiccup in the power production, but got worse, and eventually become continuous.

The shop that I had working on the carb completed the Carb rebuild/sync/etc., that I had asked for as the initial step in the work I was going to have them do in getting the bike back on the road. Unfortunately the main and easiest to witness symptom, the lack of revving with throttle, even when not in gear (Hence, under load), has persisted. The shop manager has said that, without a real shop manual he wasn't comfortable going any further in diagnosis and repair, due to the likely cost of finding the issue, when compared to the value of the bike.

As a consequence, he will be returning my bike to me, but only billing for parts he purchased up to this point.

Any suggestions about next steps?
