Hi
Just got a 850 (1980) that someone has messed with, its been hand painted (frame ) without the engine being taken out but that aside it hasn't run for 5 years.
The problem well maybe problems are that when its cold its a pig to start but once warm it starts fist time but runs erratic. The rpm will not stay constant and it pops now and again from the exhaust which is not standard, its a 4 into 1 Motad in good condition. I have checked for spark and all plugs are OK its running a standard air box but the filter element is shot, once its warm it revs cleanly but number 2 cylinder really doesn't get that hot at the header (85 degrees c) the rest are around 185 .
The plugs are sooty after a short while so this would suggest rich settings .I am not sure what the previous guy did with the carbs if any jets have been changed because of the exhaust .
This is my first Suzuki 4 stroke previously all have been 2 stroke Suzuki GT 380
Any help would be great .
I live in the UK
Regards
Bazit
