Amatuer hour question, first time rebuilding nightmare carbs (everything stripped and gunked up before I got to them). All ive really got left to do is the main needle jets, but my dumb question is how to get the washer on top off. Seems stuck in there pretty good. The only other part I really dont know and have been having trouble finding is how the brackets for the throttle cable and choke? Go on. I wasnt the one to take them off so I am trying to figure out how everything mounts and connects, and am having a hell of a time finding any pictures or videos. My background is more paint than mechanics.

Have you downloaded the official Suzuki Service Manual for your model? (It's available, free of charge, of course, through this site.) Once you've enlarged it for the screen or printer, quality gets a little fuzzy, so I purchased the Haynes "Owners Workshop Manual."
The print quality is better, but the page size is smaller, so keep your eyeglasses, magnifiers and night vision goggles handy.
Your third, and most valuable asset is this site itself. Free, expert advice, full color photos and videos. On several occasions members have sent me all sorts of parts at their own trouble and expense.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Sometimes the parts fische can give you a good or even better idea on how something goes together, I use babbitts.com but any of the Suzuki parts outlets is going to use the same picture.2001 Kawasaki Voyager XII (Current bike)

THANK YOU! I spent way too long looking for just a simple picture like that. I finally thought that was how it went on, but I wasnt sure. Ive had so much going on that I'm having trouble thinking straight.Comment
