I rebuild dirtbikes. Mainly 2 Strokes but I'll build a four stroke too. I’ve always loved dirt bikes, but I’ve never rebuilt them until recent. I’ve really enjoyed it, it keeps my hands and mind busy. I’m only flipping these bikes to eventually build a BRC 500, j/k but that’s not a bad goal.

Thanks to all of you below. You’ve helped me with sharing your skills or giving me motivation

@Tony2Strokes Месяц назад
It will run, you’re just risking damaging your cylinder at the exhaust bridge. Pistons are cheaper than cylinders. You should do it. Even if you’re not racing, these engines are made to run best at high RPMs. Running a two stroke below the power band just gums up the power valves.

The new EBC clutch plates made the biggest difference…. BUT if you watch until the end of the video, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is normal on multiple models of Suzuki dirtbikes. Even with the New EBC friction disks, I have to give it a LITTLE RPMs on a cold start when going into 1st. Once it’s hot=no problem

3rd (middle) position. It seems to only be rich on low end, so why would that be the needle position?
@brainstain22
@brainstain22 3 месяца назад
@Tony2Strokes try raising the clip (which would drop the needle). The circuits overlap. So changing the needle position would also effect low end. I had the same problem with my 92 RM125 with mikuni tm 35mm. I dropped the needle one clip....now she rips pretty good. Although a smaller main jet is what mine really needs but it worked until I get one. I think yours could benefit from a smaller pilot.

Last comment big dog! I have the same carb on my ktm 200 it’s the Keihin Pwk 38, have you cleaned the carb and checked for proper float valve operation. I took my carb apart 3 times before I actually caught the issue with mine I got some great videos saved for our specific carb hard to find when you search….if you want to dial in on it. No disrespect. You obviously are very knowledgeable. Also sounds like a vaccum leak when the rpm’s go way up on start up like that. Other than that I’d buy it. Fix the jetting (clean every cranny & check the float level for proper operation) remove float and check if the float valve is binding . Sounds like you got the right jets but something else is wrong inside that carb. Once you figure that out it will sell itself
@Tony2Strokes
@Tony2Strokes 6 месяцев назад
Thanks for the insight. You’re obviously playing close attention to detail. So yeah I had to adjust to float height to get it to idle. It was fine as long as you’re running hard but at low RPM it was flooding. It is jetted a little rich but I’d rather that than too lean… it’s barely broken in ya know.
