Fantastic thread...wish I read it sooner! First you mention to not try and rebuild the fuel petcock. Later in the thread someone mentions do not buy K&L rebuild kits. Well...the bikes did not have petcocks but did have a rebuild kit included so I bought a used petcock off ebay
It seems now would be the time to buy a new Suzuki petcock!
They will be probably put up for sale/trade soon to someone who will be a better steward for them. They are rare and it would be nice if they survived.
Right now we have four 944's that have to be restored so I think for him this is on the back burner and I do not think I will take on a third bike. If you have something interesting to trade terrific. He does not like sport bikes or going fast, would prefer some sort of cruiser.
I will probably get rid of the 750 or 700 - do not need two bikes that are pretty much the same. Will consider trade for atv, jetski, parts etc.
I will do a quick build in the build thread area. The two bikes are very similar but there are a couple of small differences beside the bodywork.
Yeah, I think K&L stands for "Krap & Lame". Their carb, brake, and petcock kits are bags of random bits. The one exception is that the float bowl gaskets are OK, but you can buy those separately much cheaper.
I really find this brand to be baffling because this stuff can be so dangerous, yet they've been in business and sold through shops that ought to know better for decades. Or maybe a bike that never manages to run is much safer. Not sure what their game is.
"Keyster" pops up now and again selling the same stuff with the same lack of quality or care. They may even be the same company; I've never figured this out.
