- In this video I am removing and reinstalling the carburetors on the 1982 Suzuki GS750E project. Two of the GS's carbs were leaking fuel when the fuel petcock was turned to prime (PRI). I am replacing the float needles and seats in these two carbs with new ones from K&L's carb rebuild kit (K&L part # 18-2592). While in there, I am going up one size on my pilot jets (from #42.5 to #45). Hopefully, these two mods will help to make the bike run flawlessly!

i know what you mean about the weather.the older i get, the more i notice the wind chill effects.i think my blood pressure meds compound it as well.i no longer ride under 50° due to it.freezing is never enjoyable.even on a great bike.
For sure.
Thanks for the great clip about the carb removal and rebuild. I recently inherited a friends 82, 750 katana with the upper fairing made out of fibreglass. Its #22 off the production line. It’s all stock with 15k kms but n it. My friend bought it in 83. Still have the sales brochure with it. I need to clean the carbs and flush the the brake system along with replacing things along the way. Tires, brake lines, pads and all important stuff.
That sounds like a real find, Thomas!
On my '80 750L recently had a float bowl gasket fail. Having never removed a set of carbs I was nervous. After researching how to It wasn't that bad. For me the boots between the cylinder head and the carbs were the fiddliest part. They are not straight . But patience pays off. Thanks for the video Jon.
Right on! You're welcome.
Hi John your Suzuki looks healthy I’m restoring a 1981 Honda CB900F everything is coming out great although I’m not a mechanic like you I depend on one and I eat their high rates 95.00 per hour I rebuilt twice the keihin carbs and still don’t run good so I’m going to install the 4into2 system from Murray’s they are 36mm each they have very good reviews I will keep you inform as my progress keep safe and warm
Hi Salvador. I'm not a mechanic either - just self taught. The CB900F is one of the few classics I have not yet ridden or owned. I agree that the Kehein carbs are not fun to get "right". I look forward to hearing how yours turns out. 🙂
It will be my next one after my gs550… gs750 or 850 dont know yet… maybe a shaft one ? Gs750g probably an unicorn to find…
I don't think Suzuki made a GS750G. They made a GS650G, GS650L, GS850G, and GS850L. The L bikes are shaft-drive cruisers. The G bikes are shaft-drive standards. E bikes are chain-drive. In 1982 all the bikes were significantly updated (for the better I think). Just food for thought 😉.
A lean air cooled engine runs hotter 4 sure.
Right on!
