Guest Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi all. I'm new here. Hope your all ok? I just bought a Suzuki GS 125 86 model and can't gert it started. Started fine when I bought it Saturday but yesterday it wouldn't start. It turns over fine but just won't fire up. I have noticed a strong smell of fuel when doing this and on the breather pipe (actually there is no pipe) fuel is leaking out. Does anyone know what this problem could be? Thanks in advance. Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Have you checked to see if you have a spark?Have you checked the float level?It does sound more carb related to be honest, but you do need to eliminate whether there is a spark or not. Quote

Hi thanks. I put new plug in and it's starts fine no problem BUT it's running very rich. Lots of black soot on plug. Air filter looked poor so sorted that but still sooting. Thanks. Quote
