Can't get carbs on gs110g

[77SuzukiTS250]

I'm helping my gf dad put his bike back together but we can get the carbs on any idea on how

Nice bike.

Are the intake boots new (with new orings as well)? If not, now is a great time for new ones. But a little bit of heat from a heat gun / blow drier usually helps out a lot. That, and a thin layer of grease on the carbs should do wonders.

like he said also you need to back off the clamps all the way
use a lot of wd40 or even some light grease
it will help to warm them up as well hairdryer or even a bathroom heater propped up there for an hour

If boots arnt pliable they need replacing, fyi.

I agree with what everyone has said on here. Is this your final assembly? If so I would put the starter cover back on first and everything else that is blocked by the carbs. If you aren't going with Pods I would put the air box back in first too, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that will not fit in between the frame and the carbs.

As for the carbs going back on having pliable carb holders is key. You can also use silicone lubricant on the holders or the outer body of the carbs. If you have 2 sets of hands it should be pretty straight forward just line it up and shove them in. You shouldn't have the lip hang up like the intake boot side but if you for what ever reason you could use a radiator hose removal tool to pull it back out.

If you do not have 2 sets of hands people have gotten creative like using a piece of wood across the carbs to insure they are all going in at the same time or even a ratcheting tow strap around the engine.

If the boots are in good shape (i.e. not the problem), you can use a ratchet strap to help squeeze the carbs into position. Be very careful if you use this approach, don't want to damage anything.

One thing... at least on my 850, the boots were left and right..... having them mismatched wont line up with the carb bank... let us know how you make out.. And a side note, I didnt push my carbs all the way and had an air leak that I was chasing with tuning....

my new boots are labeled "L" & "R if yours aren't I believe that they they should be angled slightly outward.

A 4cyl is always a bitch to get on.

What I do is lightly seat them in the boots and then put a piece of wood or steel behind the carbs and use it as a lever to force the carbs into the boots.

A little lube goes a long way

2x4 works everytime. just go slow and easy
