@wraithmanaged to get the tank a little lower at the rear using an on/off tap. Where is the best place to buy bigger jets ? or is there only Dynojet?

Have made up a plate with a 90 degree elbow and a brass on/off tap, it’s given me a bit more room to lower the tank, but still not happy with it. May need a re-think.

I’ve raised the rear of the tank so the tap just clears the carb top, but not happy with the look

I couldn’t lift the engine without it, not with my old bones Had to raise the tank and move it back, the top yoke hit it. Then of course, as you’ve found, the fuel tap hits the top of the carbs, so more mods to be done.

Coming along Shiny new exhaust But of course the feckin tank don’t fit now.

Cam cover off, sump off, oil strainer/pickup off. Pain in arse to get in but it’s in. r send.

@wraithyes I’ll try 125 mains as you suggest. Just want to get it up and running n MOTd for the summer, then maybe make it shiny n stuff over next winter, dependent on available funds. I thought a dynojet kit would get me there for the least cost. @TonyGeeI can’t use either air boxes, just not got the room. This is how she started down the modification road, with a GXR1100K front end.

Thanks for the reply @peter1127. You are correct about checking everything then taking it to a Dyno specialist, however the price of original emulsion tubes, needles etc. plus a variety of jets has forced me to look at a Dynojet kit. The bike has been built, so far, on a minimal budget and that is how it will have to be. Perhaps I will try larger jets, at present the mains are 112.5 and 110, the needles look to be ok. Maybe 125s as @wraithsuggested to @Ivanon Ivan’s 6/11 build. cheers David

Need help with setting up Carbs on an 1100 powerscream. I have fitted a 1991, 1127 powerscreen (katana ) engine into my GS650gt frame, Blackwidow 4-1 with Cobra end can, Ramair twin pod foam filters, trumpets from 1100 air box, on standard 34 mm? carbs. I’ve been advised that a Dynojet stage 3 is the way to go for decent running. However Dynojet do not list a kit for this engine in the UK. They do list a kit on their dot com site for a 1988 gsx1100f (katana ) which apparently is the same as a GSXR 1100, 86-88, but this is not stocked in UK. Does anyone know/suggest a kit that will work with my set-up. Thanks in advance for your combined Oldskoolsuzuki knowledge. Cheers, David.

Serious skills

Had a chat with Graham, I think it is, at Stafford. He has dozens of photos of his engine build, all done by hand, even cutting the engine cases. Clever lad, hopefully @davecaracan ask him to put up a build thread.

Ooh, sounds good. Want to see the finished article

I’m sure you’ll get there eventually @busa ashtime is the only thing we have plenty of, if we’re lucky. I’ve seen this and all your other awesome builds, will be a beauty when it’s finished.

This is the one, Blandit 600 and 1200 £169

Have a look on the Black Widow site, they may do one specific to a GSXR 750, the one I have was for the Blandit race series, 4 headers and 4-1 collector with springs .

I got Black Widow blandit race full system, fits my 1100 slingy with fairings and my project GS 650 with 1100 engine. Very lightweight and looks to be good quality. Sorry forgot to put price, £250

Had a great day Saturday, thanks go to @davecaraand @Paulmfor the discs and @Sam-Jaffafor the polishing advice . Good to put a face to the names.

Stool sample jar, now there’s something you don’t see on most bike builds, lol

Welcome, cool bike, more pictures please

Drooool

@Nick_C_Hotrodsyou have pm.

Hi Nick, calliper hole centres 72.55 mm

Nick, I have a pair of GS 650 front callipers. Do you know the mounting hole centre distance?

Had a similar problem with my old Gs, sometimes would start on the button, sometimes had to bump it, mostly wouldn’t start. turned out to be a knackered starter motor magnets, replaced with a second hand starter and all good so far. Oh, and an extra earth lead.

Thanks for the help @imagogives me more choice down the breakers, if not Egay
