T20 Float bowl gaskets for Mikuni VM 24 SH

Post by jschaaf5 »

New member here. Bike is1967 T20. I can't find gaskets for these carbs anywhere. The Suzuki parts supply houses in the US I have tried only stock parts for 1973 and newer. Does anyone know of a compatible gasket for these carburetors? Thanks in advance.

Always nice to do a quick intro as a first post, just basics like which general area you live, who you are and a bit of your biking experience.
There's a better chance of getting a reply then!
Of course, you could always make some gaskets......

Otherwise, welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Service manual, owner’s manual & 69 T20 parts manual are here: https://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/mraxl_ ... /index.php

You may find it useful to get a parts manual for your 67. Suzuki service manuals from back then are pretty lame. A Clymer or Haynes manual might also be useful.
They're available via eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R ... &_osacat=0

Partzilla lists the 69 T20: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/suzuk ... e/1969/t20
Your local Suzuki dealer might also be useful.

Fair enough. Jody Schaaf; Savannah, GA; age 66. The first "real" motorcycle I rode was my best friend's 1975 Kawasaki 400 triple, which got me hooked. I then sold my 1973 Toyota Corolla while I was at UGA to buy a brand new 1976 Yamaha RD-400 (Green) off the showroom floor in Savannah. It was a great bike. I've been riding off and on since then...quite a bit of mountain riding and many runs at the Gap. Had a 1986 Suzuki GS550 ES, a custom 1999 Kawasaki ZRX-1100, and currently a 1992 black Honda VFR750, 1984 RZ-350 (in progress), and 1967 T20, in need of carb gaskets! I will be at the next 2 stroke rally at the gap, hopefully with the T20 and the RZ. I met Evans Ward at last years 2 stroke rally. He's a great guy and mentor, and turned me onto this site.

Thanks Jabcd. I found the part #. Searched on it and found the correct gasket (hopefully) at Partzilla.

Welcome Jody! :D Glad you finally got in. Jody is good people gang and is very enthusiastic about motorcycling like the rest of us. He’s a little over 3 hours from me; but in my book, that’s semi- local. 8) Hope you are able to find those needed float bowl gaskets.
