    Carb problems I've had enough

    in Oil Cooled

    Posted

    Well got home from work went in the garage total chaos air box full of fuel,cylinders full of fuel,and sump full of fuel with that much leakage the fuel tap must be faulty.I have ordered a repair kit plus an extra stand alone hi flow vacuum fuel valve plus a set of genuine suzuki float valves as when I checked the originals they all had a wear ring in the rubber cone and the little sprung loaded post on a couple was getting stuck.lets hope I've got it sorted

    Hi guys and girls this problem with my 1200 inazuma is doing me in.statred it tonight very reluctant then start then for ten minutes it was bellowing out a smoke and petrol smell strange thing it  was ticking over just fine and revved up fine but the smoke smelled so rich  I've just replaced the carb needles with genuine suzuki items just last week,and when I turn it off petrol is oozing from the back of number 2 carb.is there anyone on here who can rebuild carbs and test them I got three other projects on the go that all will need rebuild kits  I'm a man on the edge >:(

    Thanks

    What is the correct valve clearance for a 1200 bandit I currently have 0.30 on exhaust and 0.25 inlet should I be looking for 0.12 inlets and 0.20 exhaust manual says 0.10- 0.15 and 0.18-0.23 

    Thanks

    If the oil is overheated (not good) then lubrication is lost and metal to metal contact is likely! Top ends are susceptible as farthest from pump and hottest part of engine. I'd seriously have a look under the rocker cover before using it again - a rattle is never a good noise! 

    Ok thanks for your reply sounds sweet when it's cold started it this morning I will take the top off and look

    Hi got my old project up and running (inazuma 1200 )after it's been sitting at the back of the garage for 6 months .the bike starts fine and runs great when it's cold but took it out today and while sitting in traffic noticed a real harsh rattle when I revved the engine seems to come from the rocker cover area it has also developed alot of vibes at 3-4 k rpm .It has been really hot today 30+ degrees is this just normal noise for a very hot oil cooled engine the bike has done 32k miles.i took it out a few hours later and the vuibes are still there up to 4k rpm and the harsh rattle started again when it got hot
