Flick is still sick!

Hey twin I know everything is in place with the O-rings with the exception of 17 I'm not sure where that apparatus is going to so if you can give me a relative are where that is I will double check.

Mary, you asked about part #17 in the Suzuki microfiche; I dislike the one Ayers uses, so here is a link to one which I think is easier to see clearly:

As you should be able to see, part #17 is a rubber o-ring which sits inside the carb body; it is the FIRST piece to go in when you install the idle adjusting screw. After the o-ring, you have the washer (18), the spring (19), the idle adjust screw (20), and the little metal cap used to keep people from adjusting the screw (40A), which has obviously been removed so you can tune the carbs.

I don't know if this information will help you or not, but I do hope you'll check to see that BOTH o-rings are installed properly and NOT damaged. I don't know what the effect of a damaged / missing o-ring would be, but there's a pretty damn good chance it would cause a problem similar to what you're experiencing right now.

Please check the o-rings and let us know what you find...

Hey Mary,

Did you end up taking Flick to a mechanic or still lookin?

[Toogoofy317]

I planned on taking Flick to a mechanic but school screwed me over. Instead of me getting $700 back I owe them $300. I really just want to cry. My stress levels are through the rough making my Crohn's horrendous. Flick still runs like shiate pretty sure I've got a float bowl sticking now. Left him on the sidestand at work get out he's flooded had to drain off the carbs in the parking lot. So, I will be tearing into the carbs one more time. I'm so done right now. Full-time school 32 hours of work this week and major health concerns are spelling a disaster waiting to happen.
