Re: '75 suzuki gt250
I did port match it, and turned out pretty well:
I polished the other head, redid the timing on the engine and popped it back in the bike. A few more days and I'll be able to start it up again. As a time frame, I see a month or less for completion for the fairing. I'm still a little leary on the expansion pipes. I love the reliability of the bike. However, I know how to jet the carbs and do the plug chops so there should be no reason why it would fail me. that and the amazing sound and power I'll be able to get from them. I'm used to working with dellorto carbs and not mikunis. It has 112.5 jets in it right now. Where would be a safe starting point? Because I'm not altering the ports or adding a larger carb, I see maybe 140s and work my way down? Rear sets will probably be after the exhaust. Thanks, Joe
