Carb slide placement
Posted: Tue Jan 30, 2024 10:40 am
Hi,
I have what I believe to be a 1973 Suzuki GT 550. It has the three individual VM carbs that are not on a rack. I was ordering float bowl gaskets (the ones that came with my rebuild kit did not fit correctly as they were a tad too big) and I noticed that two of the tree slides are the same and one is different? I got the bike together and noticed that the one slide is shorter? is this an adjustment issue or is one truly shorter and if so does that go on the left cylinder? The bike has been ratted/cafe converted and the serial number plate has been removed when the previous owner painted the frame.
Thanks!
