  1. There's rich and rich to the point of flooding! A rich mixture that is burning still make heat. I don't know what ignition you have - if its too advanced it won't help the rich situation, too retarded will tend to be burning in the pipe so would show much higher temps (this helps turbo's spool btw). I suspect either something is blocked causing rich condition or someone has been jet fiddling and gone upsize which seems it doesn't need. Are carbs 'absolutely' clear and clean - we say over and over - an Ultrasonic clean is std. for these old carbs! Check jet sizes against workshop manual quoted sizes, if only to cross off the list - and that they are the same in every carb!

    You say you have had the blocked decked by 1.5mm ? 

    So given a busa piston on a stock gsxr rod is flush with the top "deck" on a stock block .then surely the crown of the piston will be out of the bore or have I missed something ? 

    Think so! I thought the whole reason for using Bus pistons on stock 1100 rods was that they dropped down the hole to drop comp for forced induction use ! ! !

    They got nothing going for them otherwise, apart from being an OEM forging LOL!

    on that calculator dome volume should be a positive no for busa pistons 

    Yeah sort of counter - intuitive ! A dome volume should be a minus number ie. subtracted from chamber volume, whereas a dish is a Plus number as its added to chamber volume. A difference of 16cc makes one hell of a difference ! And agree with CH - gasket number is deffo wrong - 3 hundredths of a mill is paper thickness!

  4. They don't look like std steel needles - i'm leaning more towards DJ needles? What do the MJ's look like as if you've got the needles, you'll likely use jets as well?

    Only seen one set of Blandit DJ needles and seem to remember them having little taper with blunt tip but could be wrong!

  5. Using the old Sherlock motto " when you have exhausted the plausible and practical solutions, whatever is left however implausible or impractical will likely render the solution" So, do you have a rodent issue / problem in Ohio ? The little critters seem to love chomping on standing wiring looms and other automotive parts! :stop:

  6. If a gear is 'rattling', its loose on its mounts / fixings - thus the tooth mesh isn't constant and will move back & forth, under and off load. When correctly meshed with minimal backlash any noise is imperceptible! I've had both straight cut and helical cut primaries in bikes, neither of which i'd say was loud / noisy! Now a straight cut gear set in something like a classic Mini Cooper gearbox - that is loud, noisy and whines 'like a bastard' basically due to the extra lash required for racing gear changes!

    He never said anything about having the 40mm CVs. Said he has 36mm CVs and RS40s. 

    Being pedantic ^^^ this was never established as some people call CV's, flatslides as the slides are 'flat' as opposed to roundslides. But agree with RS40's being too much for good road manners - they are perfectly suitable for tuning when compared to the CV versions.

    Except he states he has a 36mm cv set

    As well as 40's, as that is what an 'M' in the UK came with, the OP said it needs rubbers to suit! Read before contradicting! And a Haynes manual has all the jetting combinations.

  9. They are frowned upon in UK as in bad weather, poor visibility the two lights could be mistaken for two bikes a distance away - not one, who is about to slam into them when they pull out! We're not in merica, and they ain't cool, so ditch them.

     I've got a 1247cc big bore on my GS1000, JE pistons and the recon company stuffed up, so I have a lot of piston clearence, more then 0.10mm.

    JE made the pistons too big for the bore size I provided, and the piston clearance they recomend, and then the recon company machined the vore a bit bigger then the maximum clearance JE recomends..

     

    Which more modern Suzuki has a 34 or 36 mm carburetor?

    Bad recon co.! With hindsight you should have thrown them back with a ' you've f**ked up, you're paying for new liners! ' Any carbs are now going to be close to 20 yes old so will be a gamble whatever you find!
