  3. Those old Jap. bikes can be a total bitch to work on. But if done correctly, their performance is Amazing. I own many, but love my ‘81 CB650 the most.

  11. spray it in the airfilter that works fine

    Comment by spikerbrad23 — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  12. yes because they both got
    primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene

  13. well you can spray in the sparkhole but it takes time
    “sparkplug out, spray, sparkplug in”
    and you can use : gas , quickstart , (even Deodorant but i wouldn’t recommend that)

    Comment by CAPTAINCAPSLOCKZ — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  14. well i only do the sparkplugs when it doesnt work in the carb,otherwise its to much work
    and only thing u gotta do in most cases
    is take the airfilter off for reaching the carb airhole

  15. carburator

    Comment by CAPTAINCAPSLOCKZ — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  16. yep, used a blow torch and a paint stripper gun to heat the exhaust manifold/headers, which heats the engine, warms up the cylinders and also makes it start a hell of a lot easier. from what i gathered the heated headers/manifold aided combustion due to the heat, and also helped free the engine a little

  17. heating the headers?

    Comment by sayer308 — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  18. suzuki’s are amazing, i worked on a crashed gsxr 600 1999 model, the engine sat oil free for 5 years and had seized, we stuck it in gear and forced the back wheel round until the engine freed, after heating the headers for 3 hours and a new battery it runs fine. i have fully restored the bike and it is on the road today

    Comment by lilvfr400boy — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  19. what the hell is ignition torch.

    Comment by MRkallek91 — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  20. Still think that bike is kind of beauty,
    and yeah does seem like the carb wasnt
    gettting the right fule mixture at the start.
    Thats just me thinking though.

    Comment by segar1234 — November 30, 2009 @ 8:55 am

  21. clean your fucking carbs before trying and change the ignition torches and the fuel… idiot… then it starts the first time

  25. Chuckle… I bought my ‘82 1100 E rat from a friend for 100 clams, soaked the carbs in some cleaner, tossed in a fresh battery and voila it started. Smoked like a freight train, but it had sat for 6 years. I ride it ALL the time. It was primary transport during college and the only thing I replaced other than tires/chains was a couple of bulbs. Leaks oil, needs a tune up for sure, but hey it was a 100 bucks… The only time it has left me stranded was of my own idiocy. Best C-note
    I ever spent
