    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

It leaks oil. Need good advice fast, please!

Hope you found an original Suzuki gasket kit. If you use an Athena kit (green gaskets) you will be in there again doing the base gasket a second time. Don't ask me how I know.
 
No gaskets yet, but I'm not buying a kit that isn't original.
I don't want to do this again soon.

Cleaned and assembled.
One question: where did the overflow hose go?

How about the other hose to the petcock. One is the green big one above, the other one goes on the petcock and then somewhere on the carb assembly. Where?

Another question:
The sync hose nipples on the intake boots were connected (1-4 and 2-3) with tubes. What is that for? Make sense to you?

The vacuum port for the petcock is on #3. The ports on #2 & #4 are float bowl vents (note: the little rubber connectors between the other two carbs, thus you only need two vents).

As for the sync ports, they should be plugged, not connected to each other.

Thanks.
Not really sure what rubber connectors you are thinking of?
 
OK, thanks. Great. I don't think there was anything connected to those vents at all. The service manual calls for pipes to go over the airbox. :shrug:

There's nothing right now I'm wondering about. If the shop has all the gaskets I need, assembling the bike in time is plausible. Zero fukkups, and I'm good. :lol:
