Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Any water or trash in the bowl? Drain a cup of gas from the tank. Any water or trash in the cup? Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ).

Drain the carburetor. There should be a screw on the lower side of the carb float bowl. Remove the screw then replace it after the fuel drains. Turn the gas back on and wait a minute for the carb to fill with gas. Install a new stock NGK spark plug and try to start the engine. If the bike doesn't start and run properly then shut off the gas and remove the carburetor from the engine.

Remove the float bowl and clean the entire carb with a spray carb cleaner from the auto parts store. Wear protective goggles to avoid getting spray in your eyes. Spray into all the little airways and fittings in the carb. Remove the two screws on the outside throat of the carb and spray into the screw holes as well.
< < READ CLOSELY > >
Be sure to put these two screws back in the same hole they came out of. IMPORTANT > do not tighten these two screws down. Only screw these in until they LIGHTLY seat. Now turn each screw one and one half turns outward. Put the rest of the carb back together, clean the air filter and install the carb. Be sure the bolts are tight. Let the float bowl fill then start the engine. Set the idle speed with the idle screw. This process should get you back on the road.

I have petrol leaking out of the bottom of my bike but the bike hasn't cut out ??

Let me get ths straight, there is petrol leaking out of your bike, more or less between your legs and you are still riding it??? STOP, if you have no concern for yourself, consider othrs around you. Dont ride this motorcycle until you find and repair the problem. I would suspect a vent or fuel line but it could be the carb over flow or a hole in the tank. Please get it fixed before you ride again.

1982 suzuki gs650 runs, but not over 300rpm

better check for the ignition coil for proper sparking or igniting of current in the comprssion chamber, check the ignition coil spark plug wire, check the spark plug, check for proper fuel supply in the flow system to Carbs, check for Ignition timing of the bike, or still you cant solve or still worried then dont worry better take the bike to nearest aurhorised Suzuki service centre for better assistance on this problem surely the problem will be solved.

I KEEP GETTING PETROL COMING OUT OF OVER FLOW PIPE ON CARB WHEN REVVING WAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS

The floating element in the carb. is shaking as well . As you hit the throtle the shaking will lift up the floating element in the carb. house and on the overflow pipe the extra fuel will pass . Adjust the fuel level , check the floating elemnt inside of the carb. case . ( If you not sure , take your bike to the nearest garage . ) I used to play with these things for days . Avoid any damage on the carb . rubber sealant . Keep your eye on the screws ! Some of them are attached with spring as well . Peter

Fuel in airbox

If your particular model has carbs instead of fuel injection, have the shop clean, balance and syncronize the carbs. Done properly, this will fix the problem.
