Suzuki 2 Strokes

Thu Apr 05, 2012

I found a guy to collect my gt750j, and he picked it up yesterday, and delivered it this afternoon. Poor old girl, she has seen better day's, but all there! even the embossed points cover, (so now i have something to take to get re-made)
She's a none runner, but with some new petrol/battery and some tlc, she should be up and running soon.
I think i will leave her as she is, and just clean what's there. and smoke around as is? I might do the switches? but just the insides? Or maybe not?






SHE HAS SEEN BETTER DAY'S. BUT SHE'S ALL THERE!!

And with a strip down, and some good cleaner, and a Pressure washer.
the big clean has started. A bit of polishing..




SWITCHE'S DONE!!




CARBS IN NEED OF A CLEAN...







DONE!! NEW CARB KITS FITTED TOO.

THE REAR LIGHT HOLDER POLISHED UP AND DONE, AND A PATTERN LENS.






NOT SHOW, BUT CAME UP PASSABLE FROM A DISTANCE...
AND IT ON THE BIKE..




AND THIS IS WHERE WE ARE NOW!!







WILL POST SOME MORE PHOTO'S AS I GET THEM......

Looks like your getting further on yours, than I am on my 750J.....Looking good so far, dont stop now.
Is that a later model engine/cylinder?

Wish I had the time, patience, money to work on my GT750B and make as much progress as you! In four years I've managed to rebuild the engine, from the crank up, rechrome and reseal the front forks and recover the seat!!! She runs and I can sit on her but that's about all!!

The number is low, i thought it was an early one....

Everything takes time, and it will be ready when it's ready? Life gets in the way every time....

That is really coming up nicely.

What do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner? Carbs never come up that cleanly in mine. I can see the wire brushed parts, but the bodies themselves look amazing.

This is the info you wanted.

Just put 4/5 caps in the 2ltr cleaner, then top up with hot tap water.
CAUTION... the water gets hot!! If you need to use the heater, Turn on for 5 mins then turn it off, and it will stay hot, I cleaned 2 carbs, then changed the water for new, and did the other one. Have a small bucket of water to rinse off, once out of the cleaner. Use some carb cleaner first on the carbs, and leave for ten mins, then use a used tooth brush to get the worst off, then spray with the carb cleaner. then put it in the cleaner. check it in 15 mins.

I think it's the dogs dangle for cleaning carbs I have had my money back already. Very happy how it came out, then used my 4" grinder, with a wire brush to clean the tops, and the inlets.Then a polishing wheel. Be lucky... KK...

Cleaner.

I have a build date of 12-71, and have the bolt on rubber carb intakes. I was just wondering when the cylinders changed to clamo on.

Mine has on the head stock stamped, 3-72 . (march 1972) Mine came along the line, 3 months later than yours, and 6k bikes later, so mines the pup...

Suzuki were constantly, trying to improve on there bikes, and were the British bike industry, made bikes the same, and didn't put any money, into research, and that's why we fell down, in the biking industry.

But don't forget, we had, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.. maybe he should have built our bikes too?
see here who he was...

Nice job on the clean up .. but seeing the close up of the one carb to cylinder connector it looks like a vacuum leak ready to happen
