    GS1000EC first start (for me)

    Hi all just wanted to share the good news, she started first try ! Sounded a little noisy (to me) but quietened down after a few mins when off choke - she had been sitting for maybe 6 or 7 years and the carbs obviously haven't been vacuum synced yet. I did put some oil down the spark plug...

    float height, rich in mid range 5000-7500

    so i found another suzuki manual see below. Same engine, same carbs - USA model gs250T Vs gsx250et.. ..but the picture shows the measurement of 'A' being from the mating surface.. only the needle is noted as different and one needle jet - the gsx250 has different needle jets in left and right...

    float height, rich in mid range 5000-7500

    I should add that I can roll on upto that 5-6k rpm with about 1/3 throttle and all seems good wont really get past that area with that little throttle though... but then if I got to full throttle it labours through that range until maybe closer to 8k and then it's like 2 stroke power band coming in

    float height, rich in mid range 5000-7500

    left cylinder - these were very clean as before the run no soot anywhere and only a off white slight color to the insulator . I ran at the flat zone about 6000 rpm with WOT at up an slow incline for 1/4 mile cut the engine neutral and pull over ( is 1/4 mile far enough? )
