you can't argue with a man that knows

yep, B12 front end straight in with no issues like on my Katzuma

was it you who give me the settings Clive ?

the settings i posted will work on some bikes but might not on others, they where base settings but worked great on my bike. its all trial and error with jetting.

yeah thats what I heard, but my thinking was using single sponge filters on each of the airbox rubbers would seal better than one sponge filter across 2 airbox rubbers and leaving a gap between them, if that makes sense !!!!!! saying that it seems to work.

tough as old boots the Scots, I should know as my old man was one

thats some crazy numbers Wee Man !!!!! got to be a handful you must be mad

one of the lads on here give me the settings but for the life of me I can't remember who but I was happy as the bike runs great, just cost me the price of the main jets and filters.

my setup on my zed project. B12 engine and carbs. ive used the airbox rubbers (of the airbox) and 4 ramair sponge filters. 150 main jets needles in the highest position ( clip in the lowest position ) mixture screws 3 1/2 turns out (you might have to tweak them slightly) exhaust, black widow headers and link pipe, cheap Chinese end can. bike runs great right up to 7000rpm. haven't had it any higher than that as run out of road where I live, but I think it will pull up to the limiter no problem. plugs look good after a plug chop.

if you are talking about a "standard" set up then a full tank of fuel shouldn't overcome the floats, but it is possible especially if the tank builds up with pressure if the breather is not doing its job or on a hot day. this is why they fit a tap between the tank and the carbs.

normal, a lot of suzuki's use the same size.

I did mine in gloss black (close enough for me) and got the decal kit of the bay of E. the company do the full range I think !!! SUZUKI GSX1100EX GSX750EX DECAL KIT | Eblag

time to pull the cam cover off and check clearances, and maybe do a compression test before you go any further just to rule them out.

I'm wondering what/who he's polishing

I fail to see how putting your hand on the exhaust you know its sucking ????? if 1 and 2 are running then the timing is fine, check for a good spark if so then look to the carbs.

use a single hex socket on the end of the spindle not a double hex, but make sure the pinch bolts are loose on that end.

pull the sump off

GSX1400 shocks 330mm from eye to eye.

yeah very slightly different but some 600's use the same carbs but with different jetting.

black/sooty plug is a rich mixture, did you do a bench test before refitting them ? it could be a leaking float valve making the mixture over fuel.

looks the muts nuts Joseph

when I bought my used GSX1100L years back the OEM damper was fecked, I priced up a new one out of interest and it was over £700 and at the time you could get an Ohlins fully rebuildable and better than the OEM one for £350 !!!!!

it might be worth thinking of using the 32mm carbs that are on the 750 for the 1200 engine, I did this on my Katzuma project and loved the way it ran, it had a lot more bottom end and mid range and still would pull 130mph.

did I see that on bgay ? time for a 1200 engine

I think I'd be trying a cable conversion
