    Pics are acceptable, smoke will probably be visible anyway.

    But videos are better :D

    Yep a bit of smoke, it stood for about 10 years so i will take in for a gentle ride, lets see if the smoke clearing. If not the a crankoverhaul and new pistons is probably the next thing

    So 

    Started working on this little bike, it looks untouched it had the usual maintence but it hasnt been abused.

    Started with the usual stuff, forkseals, tyres,chain,caliperseals, carb overhaul,brakelines and other engine seals wich looked suspicious.

    Parts are very hard to find or not to find so i had to buy imitation for some parts

    @Jellywas so kind to ultrasonic clean the carbs for me.

    Downside still not running as the supplier of carb parts did not deliver what i asked for.

    Luckily i found a bellypan and an imitation seatcowl to complete the bike.

     

    Keep ya updated!

    So you changed multiple sets of coils and no doubt plugs also but problem was cured by using stick coils  . . . . . . which don't have . . . . . 

    Plug wires ! Probably, there be yer problem? Its always the bit that can't be faulty, but usually is.

     

     

    Well if thats the case then of all the 5 sets the wires and or caps would have been faulty wich could be the case but i think not.

    Thing is all of the sets where old and came from bikes i took apart in the past.

    As i mentioned all of the sets where measured and gave proper resistence as prescibed in the workshop manual

    I even testend leakage from the leads and caps in the dark spraying with a plantspray wich did not gave any suggestion that would be the problem.

    For those wich are interested...

    I have solved the issues on this bike and it runs perfect now.

    What was wrong ??

    I almost threw the towel but decided to give it one more try,  as i thought it was an electrical issue i started measuring al elektrical components including the coils once more just to be shure.
    In all those years i am spannering on old Suzuki's i thought this aint gonna win from me.

    So after measuring and testing the only problem could be the coils, but the resistance from them where spot on hot and cold.
    I have about 5 sets of coils so i tried another set wich where measured and tried them still the samen issue.

    After trying 5 sets wich all gave factory spec resistance hot and cold i still had the same issue.

    So i thought wtf is going on here, i rembered having a set of 750 stick coils somewhere > sourced them installed them..

    Damn the issue was gone !! so now we have a good running bike wich starts on the button hot and cold.

    So dont believe what you measure and never ever use old coils, i can tell you i wont ever again! this bloody bike stood about 1,5 year because of this.



     

    GSXR Swingarm lengths suitability

    You can make almost anything fit with top hat spacers. There can be a LOT of faffing to make them work correctly though. The slabby linkage would have to be swapped out and you would need to spend time working out your rising rates etc.

    Look at the build threads on here though, lots have done it. @clivegto has done on his scratcher albeit a 750's, @Leblowskiswapped  a different swingarm into a 750, I'm fitting a slingshot arm in my 750 and @GeorgeEI7KOhas a B12 arm in his. So its well do-able

    I did not Swap swing arms

     

    I took a slabby swing arm, chopped the part that holds the suspension mount and welded in that part from a slingshot to get rid of the ridicilous non adjustable slabby linksystem.

     

    In that way the swinger looked like a slabby swinger but now ridheight was adjustable.

    1100G scavenge pump using OEM oil pump?

    in Forced Induction

    Good day gents.  As I near the (somewhat) completion, I'm thinking ahead about scavenge pumps if my drain isn't suffice. 

    I know there's electronic ones but I remember seeing a pic of someone using the stock pump. All I could gather was there was a pipe going through the case and looked to be connected to the OEM pump. See attached pic

    Anyone see or know of this and can shed some Insight?

    I'd like to explore this option if it's viable.

    Turbo is a Holset HY 35. I have a very large drain but think the line angle might give issues. Not fully running yet so don't know. Just thinking\planning ahead

    Screenshot_20210120-191830_Gallery.jpg

    I used a set up like this on my first turbo build. You blok the oilintake with a piece of feathersteel. When the oilpump sucks it wil create a vacuüm above wich will suck the oil from your turbo. 

    You will need a flapvalve one way to prevent oil from draining back.

    The thickness of the Steel is very delicate you need thick enough to create vacuüm and not to thick so your engine doesnt get enough oil.

    I used the example from Joe Hailes book.

    It worked for me very very good but i wouldnt recomend it cause its a Bitch to get it working properly.

    So yes just buy a crankdriven scavengepump i used one on other builds much easier and safe.

    Mucho problemo's with my sons Impulse.

    This bike stood for about two years and needed some work.

    So i did valveclearence, ultrasone the carbs, new needles and seats, new pilotjets. Adjusted floatheight checked compression wich is just above the limit. Inletrubbers checked also they are fine.

    I have some problems with it.

    Yes it starts direct on the button but only runs perfect idle once it warms up a bit It starts only without the choke if you pull the choke it stalls.

    I did a testride and it runs very good once warm. But if you let it stall it does not want to start, only if you start long enough it comes up again with hesitation.

    If it's cold it start's much better.

    I checked the plugs they where burnt clean not Black so looks very lean.

    So i think it runs very rich cold and once warm it runs very lean.

     

    I checked everything on the bike and kind on in the dark here.

     

    What am i missing ??
