Re: Motorcycle wants to die at anything below 2000 RPMS please help!
I think your choke cable is missing.
Many old 2-stroke Suzukis have a handlebar-mounted choke lever. This is connected to the lever on the carbs using a cable. Suzuki placed the choke lever on the bars to make it as easy as possible to fool with the choke when you are first riding the machine. The lever has some friction to it, so it can hold the choke blades in any position you want. Without the friction of the lever, your choke simply wants to flop open. ALL 2-stroke bikes I have ever seen have the ability to hold partial choke, in whatever position you want. Imo this is manditory to getting a bike like yours to run properly until warmed up. You may be able to adapt a bicycle gear shift lever and cable to your existing choke lever to get the thing working right. Also, a 5 min. idle really is not sufficient to properly warm up an air-cooled engine like this. You actually have to ride the bike and place the engine under load to build-up sufficient heat to warm the fuel/air mixture. 2-strokes suck their fuel/air mixture through the crankcase... so if the crankcase is cold, the fuel/air mixture is cold... and choke is still required. |

put all your air and fuel settings back. did you clean the carb with the neddle valves in side. if so your going to need new o-rings. one thing about a gs or any motorcycle. you must clean the carbs 3 times to get all the gunk out. sounds silly but it works. also you must put the air box back on the bike befor you can run it or your going to get strange things happing. like hard to start, not idleing right. no high end or low end when riding. |
