[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 198229, member: 1650"] That variety of carburetor is pretty advanced compared to what used to come on motorcycles. It is also a good reason or part of the reason that the bikes they come on work so good. If it is running well other than the starting I would hold off on a full disassembly until you have a manual showing every part, and a full rebuild kit. On the other hand the most likely culprit will simply be setting the float. That will require little effort than removing the float bowl and setting the tab on the floats themsleves. I dont have the specs on the suzuki, which should be the same as the kawasaki of the same year since those used the same motor. The need for cleaning is usually exemplified by circuits being plugged up and not enough fuel being able to pass. In this case, you are getting too much fuel. The float level starts rising as soon as you start riding in a float controlled carburetor. The carbureted bikes you used to see winning races on tv's and read about the nationally competitive pro's riding had the float set before each event or at least checked. 12 years later, yours probably last was set at the factory that made it.
