gt550-carb-diaphragms.jpg (108467 bytes)   GT 550 Suzuki upper diaphragm that is supposed to be the same as ours, however, new replacement diaphragms are available on the parts pages

   Napco air cutoff valve available new - see links page (I believe this is listed as a coaster enrichening valve in our manual, but I'd have to look it up)

carbs14s.jpg (91567 bytes) carbs15s.jpg (99263 bytes)   These carbs were off a 7000 mile bike.  This is how I install and route my gas line changing it from the original position running down and through the original electric gas shutoff valve and back up to the tank valve to what you see below.  Either way you still need an in-line filter of some sort.

80-b2-mine-mn3729s.jpg (98756 bytes) 80-b2-mine-mn3730s.jpg (89750 bytes) 80-b2-mine-mn3732s.jpg (83124 bytes)   This is the routing of the fuel line I use when I get a bike in for service.  I come off the tank straight across the valve cover through a large automotive filter around back and down into the carbs.  The nipple that goes into the carbs can be turned from pointing down to pointing up to accommodate this setup as I show above.  You can wrap the fuel line with radiant barrier or other type of insulation if there's any vapor lock issue.  One type insulation I like to use is the black plastic accordion wrap like you see under the hood of most any new car that's used to hold the electrical wiring in place.


NOTE: On these newer browsers I've noticed that they don't always display my large images in full size when you open an image from the thumbnails.  Once you click the thumbnail and open the larger image, if you 'mouse over' the image you should see a " + " symbol or some other indicator like a box with arrows usually on the bottom right edge of the image.  If you click on the indicator, then the image will expand to it's full size which displays full screen on computers that use a 800 x 600 resolution setting for the monitor.  If you click the indicator again it will go back to the smaller image. Some people use a resolution setting of 1024 x 768 or higher on their monitors and for those users the images will appear smaller than full screen in size.  You can change your monitor settings easily enough if you desire.  Also, the indicator I've noticed is slow to appear even after the image appears to of completely loaded.  The indicator in Netscape seems to be a lot faster to display than the one in Internet Explorer.
