    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can't get her to idle without choke

Blowing air through them would tell you much.

On syncing your carbs, if 2 and 3 exhausts are connected at the exhaust, you will have to look at the manual, Suzuki used this weird vacuum machine and on bikes where 2 and 3 are connected, the syncing requires that they bee a "11/2" ball lower that 1 and 4 carbs. This is due to the scavenging done by the exhaust. If they are each connected to 1 and 4, 1 and 2 then 2 and 4, then you sync in the normal all equal manner. ;)
 
Old post but I'll add this. If you have a 2 screw carb. Air metering in the back and fuel metering in front underneath look at this. If you touched the front screw, make sure you start at 1/2 turn out and then add more if needed. You'll need more for sure as this meters the idle fuel mixture going into the engine. If you have a pilot jet thats to large 17.5 for example, you'll turn this screw in. In my case, I had them almost shut off. Then I switched back to a 15 pilot and now I have them 3/4 turn out and needing more.

FYI - with the big bore kit, you might start looking for VM28/9 or bigger.
 
I have it idling... whoopee. I can get it to idle now without choke after disassembling the carbs again and blowing everything out with a compressor. I am now trying to get it to idle smoother. I don't have the baffle chamber or the airbox on yet which I am sure is screwing up things. I have all the stock airbox parts but am using a K&N filter in the box. As far as checking the timing, I have added a dynajet electronic ignition so is the timing check scenario the same?

I have also noticed that my right side exhaust is smoking. Not dense smoke but noticeable (white color). Is this a fuel screw setting or something more expensive (I did a total top end rebuild with a big bore kit - 1100 cc now).
 
White smoke is usually a fuel issue. Too rich, usually. Check the spark plugs to do a reading on that lug, compare it to the other good running cylinder. :)
