great clip! That was me a while back... I do like the bike. "Love" might be too strong a word. I can only afford to have one bike at a time, so decision time is soon here.

I DO have a lot of money in this thing. I've moved on to a slightly newer four stroke and was hoping to get the Suzuki primed for sale.
I may part it out, although that saddens me. Someone wants this ...

Will do. thanks.

My 1974 GT250 imploded: one piston is gouged with metal, crankshaft is broken, odd bits of metal everywhere on the left side. Mechanic says "Look for an engine/trans."

In the process of getting to the front sprocket, I removed the casing over the points/condensers ...

I've played with the top screw/idle adjustment, opening them up a quarter turn. It does give a faster idle, but the engine still dies at idle.
Plugs are oily/black.
So I'm guessing a mixture problem ...

My recently renewed GT250 runs like a champ. I'll be taking a long trip on it next week, after new chain and sprockets. (An aside: I had very good luck using Wemoto in England, for parts. Cost plus sh ...

I'll guesstimate, conservatively, at 30 M ...

I've run through half a tank (tank = 4 gallons) in about 40 miles. Newly running after 12-15 years dormant.
Planning a long trip next month, through some territory without a lot of fuel stops.
