Suzuki 2 Strokes

The 380 and the 550 has the same part number for the smaller center muffler baffles, but the larger outer muffler baffles have different numbers.

Many thank .looks like homemade baffles be the option or modified after market ones.

Pete has bottom end together with refurbed crank but now has decided on a rebore and new top end set.the exhausts are now near mint and have been well cleaned out with caustic soda.tons of mouse crap and carcasses ! Has no baffles so planning on making them.any chance anyone has dimensions for top and bottom pipes baffles? Many thanks Bob

Eve all.Petes barrels came back today for the 380 bored to +.5 but the centre one is cracked top to bottom and another smaller crack 2 inches over.is it scrap ? Is it possible to put a new liner in or better bet buy another barrel ? The place who did the work have a superb reputation so he will phone them Mon as he at work.cant believe they didnt notice it.is it poss it was already hairline cracked ? Any guidance be appreciated

It probably is scrap unfortunately. Can't believe that was missed during the process of chamfering the ports after the bore job.

About 12 years ago I visited PJME in Wolverhampton and asked them about re-lining a damaged 380 cylinder. They said they wouldn't do it, I don't know if that was because they don't have the facilities, or couldn't be arsed. I suppose turning up a new liner and matching all the ports etc is quite an involved job.

Back then it was still relatively easy to source used barrels so I found a decent one and used that. I think that's your best bet.

Thanks Craig.looks like thats the way then.

i did p.m. you about barrels, but no reply
cheers, dd.

Thanks Ddog and Craig.Pete went back to Boretech .fella who did the boring insisted it wasnt a crack but a mark he made.he said he been doing them for 50 years and a ring would not pick up on it.Pete said he wasnt happy and the fella reluctantly re honed the bore.the crack/mark has all but gone and Pete is happy now.wish i could show you the photos of the bore but cant put them on here.the re build continues

Sorry DD .unfortunately i have/am very unwell .im now off the road due to docs orders.i havent touched the 550 for weeks.im in daily contact with mh mate Pete and he is making slow progress with his rebuild.cant see him on the road this year.thank you for your help mate.my 550 is all wrapped up like winter storage but clean & tidy

Really bad news after your visit to the IOM last year, my friend.
Best hopes for a full recovery in the near future, then you can come with me to sort the bit of NC500 that I missed in the other thread here.

Thank you Alan, id like to do the nc 500.Pete has at least got his motor back in frame.he has ordered the nylon gear that was split and hopes to crack on with your spare gas tank soon.i have no idea how long i be off road.could be weeks or months.hosp being brill so at least im getting all i need to fight back to full health.

Im still tempted by a Higgs 3 into 1.seen a vid of a black 550a like mine running.sounds pretty good to me.

If only i could find a Piper ?
