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.

Flickr’s phone app sucks for posting pictures into websites and won’t do the bbcode.
Nice looking bike. Hopefully it runs as well as it looks

I've been working on it a bit at a time.
I hope to find an oem Suzuki stock exhaust from somewhere soon:does anyone want to trade me for the Kerker exhaust? I'll install the centerstand after I get the stock 4into2 black exhaust,I'm sure it'll have plenty of power as stock for me.I like a bike with the centerstand for working on it,loading stuff onto it,etc.Ed,Thanks,you've been a wonderful source of encouragement to me along the journey;it took a bit of gumption to keep my hopes up but now I'm pumped ! :joyous:
I thank all of you very kind members who have helped me also,I couldn't have done it without your help and wisdom.
I'm glad I didn't attempt to travel out there and fix it in that man's garage;I may have set myself up for more unwanted suffering as I did back in 2018' with the GS450TXZ.
The carbs are gunked and I was considering getting a hot solution of purple-type cleaner to soak the rack in to soften that varnish without fully disassembling the rack.I would then blow them out and Then do the Gumout-blast.What do you fellows think,you ever do them that way ?
I usually just use Gumout alone then blow them out.

Lots of people have done it that way...And it doesn't work.
Do it proper, disassemble and dip. Ed already told you this, and has the links in his sig. Post #8
You are wasting your time. Please follow the procedures that Nessism put together or you’ll follow the exact same steps as so many people who tried and continued to have problems; only to finally listen and go, “oh, I should have done that first”
I understand,I'm considering dipping them a couple times in a mild solution also.I want to keep them looking original with that nice factory silver shine which they still have.I plan on getting some tutoring from Dave on how to post pics here from flickr on my phone;I'd like you folks to see how fresh these carbs look,the bike was garaged for 20 years.
I will remove all the jets,etc. and make sure they are spotlessly clean before I say I'm done.
I'm going to view the links that Ed has posted and use that also.
The slides are ok but not great;they've been drilled for Dynojet Stage 3.. and I may want to see if there is any way to fix the rubber diaphragm on one or two or find replacement slides(big $) as a slight tear barely visible looks like it's started.There are 2 diaphragms that have been in a pinched position on #3 & #4 cylinders for years sitting in this mans garage.. I now have a set of the stock OEM jet needles #5D12 and will be installing those with a shim washer too.

Where are you going to put the washer? I ask because most who think they know about this will put it in the wrong place. And, to do it properly, you will likely need three or four washers PER CARB.
Read the carb tutorial and follow it. Don't skip any steps. Inside the tutorial you will find information on how to shim the needles, should it be necessary, which is NOT certain.
That purple cleaner stuff is crazy strong alkaline solution that will corrode your carbs straight away. Stay away from that stuff unless you know what your getting yourself into. Simple Green Pro is a much better product for cleaning motorcycle parts because it won't corrode aluminum, but it's not a very good cleaner for carbs. For that you need carb dip.
