Suzuki VL 125 Intruder LC will not idle

Really could use some help... Please, it seems to be lacking power it's getting to much fuel and not enough air its an air cooled not sure how to do it please help me I don't want to do it wrong. I've looked at the air filter changed the oil, drained the fuel tank as well running out of ideas and also does it have an overflow pipe because I have this pipe but near the two head cylinders not sure where it's meant to go... Must go somewhere but where. New spark plugs new battery and cleaned the carbs. It starts then cuts, doesn't tick over. Everything looks new it's only done 453 miles. Any suggestions please would be greatly appreciated! I am a novice though. @

    Low mileage bike that won't run after you cleaned the carbs? See if you have a vacuum hose connected to back of your petcock that runs to the intake manifold? It has to be connected for the fuel to flow to the carbs. Did you disassemble the carbs and soak the bodies in cleaner overnight then blow out the passages? Made sure the idle jets were open and the main jets? Doesn't tick over???? Starter solenoid is round relay next to battery, it engages the stater when small wire to starter switch is grounded, other wire is hot from switch. Did you reassemble the pistons into top of carbs with diaphragms in correct position? Notch on pistons with holes go toward the intake of the carbs. There is usually a tap on the rubber diaphragms that fit into a notch in the body. Your best investment is a manual!

SOURCE: Will not run without choke

have you checked for vaccuum leaks at the intake manifold? you can check by pouring water over the gasket area when/ if you get it running!

You need to remove the carbs and dismantle them completly and adjust them to spec. Also change the fuel filter.

I have a suzuki intruder vl 125 and recently when waiting at a junction the engine has just died i have to keep the revs up to avoid stalling. also sometimes whilst moving the engine sounds like it dies....

the stalling is due to the rectifier (its a box under the plastics on the bike and has fins on it) if not this then possibly an air/fuel mixture problem but as with my old vl it was the rectifier

2000 Suzuki VL 125 Intruder "No Power"

Check if you have gas?, see if the fuse is shot, should be on the bottom side of the gas tank, could be just a faulty spark plug, worse case scenario the pulse coil is shot or the stator

Lack of power and low revs

Remove and clean the carbs. Remove and clean the fuel petcock water trap then put everything back together. Try the bike now.
If still bad then take it to the shop and ask for a compression check. You may have some burned valves.
