Suzuki problem...

[jasonm.]

:-\ I swapped # 2 & #3 plug wires around.......No change!! #3 header stone cold...

The two open ports between carbs 1 & 2...3 & 4 turned out to be vents, so I put new hoses on them.

So, plus, wires, caps, coils, points all check out...Carbs are next on the list ::)

cold , means no gas...your float is stuck or plug fouled quickly. The intake manifold on old and new Suzis have allen bolts threaded into the manifolds. Also some have a port for the sync tool in the carb itself. The port is always on the head(not airbox) side. These are slide, not CV vacuum carbs.

Problem:

Bike starts o.k, however, within a few second's the #3 cylinder, (going from left to right), header pipe is cold/bike splutters/spark plug loads up with gas and obviously starts firing raw gas out of the exhaust :o ::)

...There is raw gas coming out of the exhausts. I have black puddles on the garage floor where the gas/carbon mix pukes out of the pre-drilled holes in the header pipe's just were they enter the mufflers as well as in the exhaust vapor, on the garage wall!!!

if gas is coming out unburned...it's either floats and seat issue or fuel not burning. Most likely the first issue.  But you have to do a float seat test to be sure they are at the proper level. Do the carbs have a drain on them. If not this will be difficult.  I do have the float height spec....it's 26mm  +/- 1mm. This is done with the carb upside down. Measured from the area the bowl gasket sits to the highest part of the float.  to check the needle and seat...could be a messy job if they are bad.

 I have seen a bike with the same symptoms- the bottom line in this case was: the jets had been swapped by mistake on assembly ??  :D  Are the jets if they are interchangeable ie are they installed in the correct position?
