its all one unit Al, the starter solenoid, they are cheap to buy but I suspect its the yellow wire is your problem.

If the oil rings are in good condition and the upper piston rings are facing the right way, the engine shouldn't smoke even if there is a little too much oil.
yes ive seen bikes with way to much oil in them and no smoke, but as you say its probably down to how worn the rings are.

Am I correct in thinking that the US Slabbies were restricted via the carbs and pipe?
getting back to your question, I'm not sure ? could also be the CDI ? but as you say changing a few parts will bring it up to full spec, i'm sure someone here has done it.

never tried that,being a caveman i grunted and got the grinder out
I had no choice with my Katzuma, put the engine in and found the airbox wouldn't go in ???? didn't want to take the engine back out but dropping it give me just enough room to squeeze it in.

You will have to cut airbox out as its an engine out job otherwise
at a push you can remove the front engine mounts and drop the engine just enough to squeeze the airbox out, or in, in my case

they are a problem tap to repair as their is a secondary vacuum in the base of the tap thats sealed, best thing you can do is bin it and buy a new one, had to do that with mine.

these are a very odd tap, in the PRIME position you have to turn the engine over a few turns to open the tap, they need a vacuum to work, once the carbs are full you turn to the ON position that only works with vacuum. as I said very odd

B6 carbs are the same as the 750 ones but slightly different jetting, as been said some after market carb kits don't match up to OEM jets/needles.
just had this problem with a B12, binned the after market kit and cleaned up the OEM parts and reused them, bike runs as it should.

Fellas
Am I right in saying the 1990 750 slingshot loom doesn’t have a clutch switch (uk) I couldn’t see the wires for one however there was a switch on the master (may have been changed, and came with a switch on the bottom)
the bike starts up and runs fine. (1052 engine, not that it should make any difference to the issue at hand)
I had to by pass the side stand switch initially to get it to run when I first got the bike (checked this joint again) however put it into gear and it cuts out, also have an oil light that I didn’t notice when I ran it the other day.
I’ve pulled the clutch in and span the back wheel and put it into gear and tried spinning the wheel etc.Ive taken the clutch plates out and made sure there wasn’t any sticking etc and rebleed the clutch just to eliminate that also.
I think it’s electrical personally just wondered if anyone had any thoughts
I had the same issue with a bandit 12, both switches where bypassed and as soon as the neutral light went out the engine cut out, after a lot of searching it turned out to be an earth problem, on a bandit their is a black wire that comes off the main negative wire from the battery, and on that wire their is a spade connector that was corroded, cleaned it up and fixed the problem, so worth checking all the earth connections.

Yes the gearbox didn't whine or anything like that and gears went in good or as good as they go in these old engines. I quess they'll be fine in my use but I'll have my eyes open for better condition set.
I think I'll up the cc of the engine a bit so I need new pistons and head gasket anyways.
the gears looked like that on a bandit engine i had, it was the noisiest box ive ever heard !!!!! had to replace the rough gears, it was then quiet as a mouse.
plus the gearbox on my GSX1100 is smooth as silk.

Was that still with the tape on the filters
Glad you've got it sorted, who needs a rolling road
Setting carbs, as you know. Can be ever you get it right pretty much with in the first couple of gos or the carbs are on and off more than a popular (incert your own words
)
no mate not tape, but they do have a cable tie round them to stop them popping off
by what ive read on the tinternet no one has had to change the pilots !!! but just shows you carbs are not all the same. but glad i got their. it was a joy to ride today for the first time.
their is a rolling road in my town but heard some bad reports plus he doesn't do carbs !!!

well finally fixed it, put the #40 pilot jets in and it ran rich as fuck !!!! (from one extreme to another) so cleaned the plugs, set the mixture screws to 1 1/5 turns out and lifter the needles up one notch to the 4th one from the top, took it for a road test and it ran sweet, its never run so good and the plugs are clean. so happy days.
now to get some miles on it

wrapped some tape round the filters and it seemed to run better, still the odd pop but not as bad, still to wet to ride it though.
standard pilots are 37.5 so i might order a set of #40's and see how i get on. bloody motorbikes

I know you know what you're doing, but the hanging revs is not a sticking throttle cable or something like the handle bar grip just rubbing on a end weight or the switch gear?
lol, i wish it was that easy wraith

was looking for an air corrector kit for B12 carbs but can't find anything !!!!

I know it's a different engine etc, but the miss gsxr1100k (1127) is running dual K&n's b12 MK1 carbs with cobra exhaust.
The setting on that is,
155 main jets (Dyna jets)
Pilot screws at 2 1/2 turns out
And needle set in center grove.
Runs fine no real hanging or poping
yeah seems really weird !!!!! as i said the carbs have done less than 17,000 miles and look perfect inside, i do have a spare set of carbs just in case.

That’s a much richer setup than I’m running and I’ve got no issues with popping or hanging idle, and my air/fuel numbers are right where I want them,
are you sure you haven’t got an air leak somewhere, split intake rubber maybe ?
or even a fuel starvation issue, the diaphragms in the tap can cause problems, I recently had to swap my tap diaphragm
inlet rubbers are perfect and new O rings fitted, fuel tap is an ON/OFF/RES and flows as it should. the engine i know is good as i took it out of a 1200 bandit with less than 17.000 miles on it, ran perfect with airbox. carbs have been cleaned and float heights checked and no leaks on the float valves.
gona tape up the filters just to confirm its running lean, if so then maybe go up on the pilots.

lifted the needles a notch (5th groove) and 3 1/5 turns out and still popping and hanging rev's !!!! but rain has stopped play.
the instructions say "US market only" !!! I wonder if thats got anything to do with it ?
theirs a lot to be said about airbox's

Scroll down to Downloads, the instructions are in a PDF.
https://www.dynojet.com/jet-kit-for-1997-2000-suzuki-bandit-1200-gsf1200-3154/
First gen, with pods and full exhaust...
Needle on 2nd clip
DJ155 main
AF screw 2 turns out.
I think most of their kits have similar instructions, because these are really similar to the 750 stage 3 I'm currently setting up.
they where the settings the guy on the net used and it ran shit !!!! thats why i used his modified settings, my bike pulls through pretty good but the revs hand in-between gear changes so a lean condition, if i use the dynojet settings it will (in theory) run even leaner !!!! but i suppose its worth trying.
one other thing, the fecking K&N filter on 3 and 4 keeps sliding off the carbs !!! ive cleaned everything up and still slides off no matter how tight or loose i have the screw clamps. had to wrap a cable tie round it

clip on 4th groove down
mixture screws 3 1/2 turns out
