Re: GT550 carb help
This is how it should look John. Are you measuring from the correct side ?

Re: GT550 carb help
And the gap should only be 1mm, see pic from the Suzuki carb manual.

Re: GT550 carb help
They are going on my own bike at some point John, so not selling these. Hope your bike starts and runs now. You will know the carbs inside out by the time you have finished. I certainly do with mine !2strokejohnny wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 1:57 pm no measuring from the other side !! but done now with 1mm drill bit.

Re: GT550 carb help
Just to confirm the cable adjuster under the throttle grip is fully wound out and there are no twists in the cable run?

Re: GT550 carb help
Iridium plugs John, well worth the money, fitted mine about 4 years ago and it's not missed a beat since, starts better, runs better and never needs any attention
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
