Carburettor problems!

[Lukazam]

Hey Guys!

I feel like a complete dumbass here! But I'm new so please be niceI

I own a Suzuki VL 125 Intruder and I've had problems with the carburettor so I've removed it to clean in thinking I had a picture of how the layout of putting everything back goes..however I do not.

I'm just wondering if any of you guys either own this bike and can send me an image of the pipes that are going in your carbs or step by step guide to putting it back in?

I know where the air filter line goes and the main fuel line but I'm confused by the other.

Thanks! And really appreciate all your help in advance!

I've been following that luckily, but it doesn't actually tell you what pipes go where unfortunately, just how to take apart the carb

I'm looking for more, what pipes go to these connectors, i know theres air and fuel, but theres one i just can't figure out which is in the image below,

[ThePhatomfart]

When you re-install the carb the pipes will fall into place on the carb , the pipes are pre bent so should line up with their mates.

See manual

You should have a fuel line from pump ,and a vent pipe

[Lukazam]

Thank you loads for that! Would you have any clue where that darker black pipe goes that the picture cuts off? Would that be to the air filter?

[ThePhatomfart]

I think your talking about the vacuum pipe from petrol pump to air inlet pipe

[Lukazam]

This pipe here (see attached picture)

[ThePhatomfart]

That should be your vac pipe from carb to Tank

I already have 2 pipes running to the tap at the moment and I'm pretty sure they're right. I can't think what else this would attach to...must be something important. If it helps I blew through it today in hope I'd find a link and fuel came directly out the pipe that attaches to the petcock that is used for priming fuel through. I've attached a picture with what I mean.

[ThePhatomfart]

have you got your pipes set up in this manner

[attachment=0]air vac tank.JPG[/attachment]

[Lukazam]

Yes I have, the one on that labelled number 1 goes in the back of the petcock as its a vaccumm pump and the other pipe in that picture that doesn't connect to anything goes in the prime section of he petcock on the side so the petcock hasn't anymore inputs for that black pipe to go

[ThePhatomfart]

Pipes 1 and 2 go into each air intake pipe entering the cylinder, thats where the vacuum works for them

[Lukazam]

And pipe 2 goes in to this (see attachment) and pipe one assumably goes in to the rear of the petcock as it requires vaccumm action for it to work? So that leaves the original hose I was confused about unless what I've said above is incorrect.

Sorry to be a pain!

[ThePhatomfart]

Heres the fuel pump set it up like this, it it should probably have a "T" piece that splits the one vacuum into the 2 air intake pipes at the cylinder joint

[Lukazam]

All connected up as indicated above, I've seen the t piece. So thus far I have back of the petcock into the air intake pipe and there's a tpiece on that, that leads to this (see image)

[ThePhatomfart]

So , you have a fuel line from the tank to the pump, and a fuel line from the pump to the carb, and a vacuum line from the pump to the air intake pipe, so now you should have a breather line from the tank to the carb, is that so ?

[ThePhatomfart]

Is this the same petcock you got.

I have this Petcock in my tank (see attached) and that you've linked me to behind it.

So I have fuel line from tank petcock that leads to the fuel pump, a fuel line from the pump into the carburetor and then I have a vacuum line from the air intake to the rear of the attached petcock and from the carb I have one line going in to my air filter.

When you say clean air, you mean not attaching to anything or do you think it would go to the air filter box instead of the pipe I have in there already...I'll make a little video tomorrow showing in full what my set up is so far if pictures aren't doing it justice. The only thing I can think not is it would be a drain....but I can't imagine why.

Oh and the last picture I attached was how it was in my bike before (just found a snap from another day) but it doesn't show where that pipe is going

[ThePhatomfart]

as you can see here the air pipe runs up towards the front

By the way what year is your bike

[Lukazam]

See I figured that but I've put it to the front and it doesn't look right there as I've fixed the headlight recently and never seen it around that area...

So update today is that it's firing and starts for about 2 seconds then cuts out

It's a 2000 reg

[ThePhatomfart]

Dont know these bikes too well ,but isnt the frame at the front underneath the tank part of the air intake system. and does that pipe plug in somewhere there or into the side pod right hand side, if there's a prime position on your petcock switch it to that and see if the bike will run any longer
