Reply #15 - 09/30/07 at 23:51:24 I would really like a pic of your tools. I want to see just how much stuff it takes for someone to accomplish what you've managed. Maybe you could manage to get in a pic ONCE?? Your diagram is such a great idea. I just can't say enough. Congratulations. Sure made me happy to see it went so well.

I got quite a few tools, I admit, some women collect shoes, others purses, I collect tools Grin

.
I actually took pictures of the whole ordeal, but wanted to ask sluggo if I should post them in the tech section with instructions.
I'm too tired now though, some other time!

You did very well indeed, and the big diagram organizer was great. This is a pretty big job when you do it for the first time, but after a few rounds with it you will get to where you can take it out, take it apart, change jets or clean, etc, put it back together and reinstall...and do the entire thing in less than an hour.
Not only that, but you will have fun doing it!! Grin

Back pat from me to - that's quite a task - mighty stained pilot jet for sure - looks like the type with out holes - your bike has got to feel much better - now that you understand the workings and have a clean carb you really don't need to pull it again to slim down the white spacer to raise the needle a little - pull the seat, tank, and you have enough room to remove the cap.diaphram and tune that midrange if you need to - good job.

Wahini - that rocks with the pictures, and I am so glad you took the time to do that. Thanks!

I eventually will be doing the same thing and have already found the photos on the forum work much better for me than the diagrams in the Clymers manual. I like seeing actuals more than 'perfect drawings' that don't match what you are looking at.

So that's where fish oil comes from, stupid carp swimming in the gasoline! I doubt they make good eating though. Cheesy

I don't know why, but when I read this, it reminded me of the old B.C. comic strip where Clumsy Carp would stick his head in the stream and exclaim " Clams got legs!"

I ordered a new filter from our Suzuki dealer almost 2 months ago, he still hasn't gotten it. I'd like to support our local stores, but I think I'm going to have to cancel his order and order it online.
What's the brand name for the one you used, and where did you get it?

Reply #28 - 10/01/07 at 10:42:40 Looks like we only have 2 engine repair shops here, one for marine and one for car engines. The marine engine repair might be my best bet. I can probably find it online too.
