Suzuki GT250M, only idles leant to the left?
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:54 pm
Hi everyone,
I’ve spent the last 12 months restoring a 1975 GT250M.
I’ve had the top end done, crank done, along with about 100 other things!
I’m just at the point where I can’t get her running properly. When the bike is on its side stand, the revs will increase, when upright, it will struggle a bit, and leant to the right it will die immediately.
Also, when up right, if I rock the bike back and forth it will die also.
My timing is spot on, my fuel tap is clear and flowing well, new spark plugs etc. I’ve stripped and rebuilt the carbs numerous times now, new internals, ultrasonically cleaned, my floats aren’t getting stuck, my float height is set to 13.6mm.
The throttle cable is not the cause, I disconnected it to rule it out. I’ve also tried moving wiring about whilst running to see if a broken wire was the cause, no change.
The condition is not effected whether the choke is on/off, and the the fuel tap position does not impact it either.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I’ve exhausted all of my knowledge trying to get this right!
