Suzuki GSX1100G Carburetors

[gandy666]

Hi there

I've had problem with my Suzuki GSX1100g idling, for some time.
Carbs came off last week and it turns out the air mix screws were put in by Popeye. Trying to get them drilled out at the moment, but if this is not possible, does anyone know which other carbs will fit?

They are 36mm Mikinu BST36 CV's. Set of four. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get the screws out, or recommend an engineering firm who can remove without destroying the bodies?

Even better, has anyone got a set they may wish to part with? I'll swap the jets etc over. Mines are perfect, apart from the airmix screws being jammed in.

Thanks.

If the air screws have been tightened that hard then the carb bodies will be f@@ked anyway as the tapered part of the screw will have spread the hole in the body,

GSXR1100 K/L, GSX1100F all use 36mm bodies.

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

The BST36SS carbs were fitted to lots of bikes in that era, most common source is Bandit 1200 mk1.

If the mixture screws are OEM stainless then they most likely seized in due to galvanic corrosion. If you cannot get a screwdriver on 'em then they will need to be drilled out. Quite easy if you have the right drill bit & can fabricate a drill guide to keep the bit straight. If not, then any proper automotive engineering shop will be very familiar with this problem

If the screws are brass then they likely made of Chinesium from the cheapest of cheap rebuild kits, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the bits in the carbs . . . .

Make life easy on yourself & do this first. Mix acetone (nail varnish remover) 50/50 with either ATF or power steering fluid. Turn your carbs upside down & you have a perfect 'well' around the screw to flood with this mix. This mix is proven to be a better penetrating oil than Plusgas, & Loctite say it's the only thing that has a chance against their permanent bonds. WD40 is no use to you here.

Let this mix do it stuff for at least 48hrs & keep topping it up.

If you can get a screwdriver on them, they will loosen easily, if you can't, then they will unwind during the drilling.

If the screws are jammed 'cos some fukwit bottomed the needle point into the carb body, then torqued 'em up 3x ugga dugga's . . . Then your carbs are BCF'd. Don't try to bullshit anyone with half a clue that it wasn't you what did it, your bike wouldn't tickover in this condition & you should put the tools down & step away from the motorcycle. Let the grown ups fix it.
