SCORE!!! We just bought....

Post by H2RICK »

a passel of service manuals from a local big box dealer who was clearing out his service department library. The 200 pounds of paper consisted of Suzuki and Big K and a LOT of brand y stuff (naturally enough :lol:) but there WERE about 50 pounds of quad, watercraft and generator!! manuals.
However, hidden in amongst all the 80's and 90's stuff was a genuine Suzuki
"Carburetor And Carburetion" service manual printed in September, 1974.
It's pretty generic and actually includes carb info for outboards :shock: as well as cages. It's pretty much useless when compared to the real Mikuni tuning manual but it IS a piece of Suzuki history that will go into my library.
Reading through it, I came on some little gems such as the "homo-pressure" carbs as used on the "T200, T250-2, T250R, T500, T500-2, T500-3 and T500R".
As well, there is reference made to a bike that Allan has referred to in the past but I'd never seen or heard of......the "T125-2 (down muffler)" model. :shock:
It's nice to know that he wasn't having us on all this time. :lol: :lol:
As a side note, the T90 also came in both muffler configurations, according to this manual. :shock:
All in all, an interesting trip down memory lane. :D
