Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you know that I have a GS250FW for sale -
Red, registered and runs beautifully.... Anyone interested or knows
of anyone that might want one?? I'm in Perth Western Australia.
Hi Malcom,
I got mine from the Suzuki dealer when I had an Across, though you can
also get it from here:

Are you getting good spark? Have you got the enricher (choke) connected

Have you downloaded the workshop manual?
The float levels are measured from the carb-body surface (the majority of
the flat section under the carb-body [not the raised sections]) to the
highest point on the float. The float has to be just touching the needle,
not putting pressure on it.
If you grab the workshop manual, there's a (reasonably) good diagram for

Hi Malcom,
The idle mixture settings are the four screws on the top of the carbs,
furthest towards the engine. Stock settings are at 1.5 turns from lightly
seated (in).
To properly tune these, I believe that you'll need an exhaust gas
analyser, though you can tune them by ear/RPM.
You'll be tuning the idle for the smoothest running/highest RPM. To tune,
turning the screws out makes the mixture richer, in is leaner. You may
need to turn each one out from stock (making note of how far out you've
turned it) if you've got any inlet/exhaust mods.
What you should do, is make note of where they are now, counting the
number of turns until they're seated. Set them to the stock position,
then turn each one out (making note of the number of turns) until the revs
peak, then drop off. Turn the screw back in until the revs peak again.
Re-set the idle after you've done each cylinder.
This may also help you with fault finding:
http://www.factorypro.com/tech/carbtune,CV,lower_rpm_engines.html
On a side note, do you still have the body of your GS250FW (minus
engine/electrics of course)? And would you be willing to part with it?
Let us know how you go, and do you have any pictures of your kart?
Cheers,
Carl

Hi Carl
I have not tried any different mixtures. I have the choke connected and when
cold will only start with it and takes a while to get going. Once going and warm
seems to idle fine.
I will check out the float level diagrams and as for the mixture settings, I
don't have a clue so if it comes down to that I'll have to find a good motorbike
mech in melbourne.
Thanks
I'll let you know how I go.

I am still have ing trouble starting. and when running very slow to
rev up to a maximum of about 6000RPM.
I have noticed that the igniter the wreakers gave me is from a GSX
750. Could this be a issue?
I checked the timing last night it is fine.
I tried to check the float levels and I am unsure to where I am to
measure from.
If anyone can help me out it would be fantastic.

Wow thanks very much. I will get into it tonight.
Carl Johnston <cjohnston@...> wrote:Hi Malcom,
There should be two openings into the venturi on the tops of the carbs,
they will have vertical mounting points for tubes. These tubes are used
for the vacuum operated petcock (which you won't be using on a go-kart).
With these un-obstructed, you'll have running problems, as it will be
sucking in fresh air directly into cylinder 2 and 3.
Try blocking these up, or just connecting them together with a hose or
something, this may fix your problem.
The two that run out of the in-sides of the carbs are just breathers, i'd
prop these up in a spot that's higher than the carbs.
Are you running with the standard exhaust? If you're running a free
flowing exhaust then you'll either need to change needle possitions and
pilot air screws, or re-jet to get the correct mixture. I have a feeling
that you'll need to do this anyway, because you're not running an airbox
(which is asking for trouble!).
Backfire out the carbs is (as i've read) usually caused by running lean.
I'd suggest doing a plug-chop (cutting the motor while under load,
coasting to a stop with clutch in) after initially cleaning the plugs and
reading the plugs to get a better feel or what the engine's doing.
Float levels are checked with the float bowl off, you measure off the carb
body to the highest point on the float, with the float just resting on the
(sprung) needle. From memory it should be 20.5mm +- 1mm, and they should
both be set to the same level).

There are four hoses on the carbies 1 is fuel inlet. and other 2 are
return that I have running to the ground (nothing comes out) and the
other I don't know I have tried it un-blocked and blocked.
Another question is how do you check the float levels. I am used to a
window and level mark.
If anyone can help It will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Malcolm
Well, I'm being lazy and using my partner's yahoo account (but the
email will reach me). Just to let affionados know first that my 1987
GF250 is up for sale - due to my deciding to splurge on an SV650S!
$1700 (slightly negotiable to a good home). Located in Northern NSW.
68000kms on the clock and still running strong (Mr. Suzuki knows his
engineering!). Some pics of the bike as featured on this site can be
found at: http://au.geocities.com/jimr_52/SuzukiGF250data.htm
If you're into collecting, it's original except for the tasty (but
non-Suzuki) paintwork. Frame is showing the rust-stain breakthrough
on
the paintwork that's so common with bikes of this era, and our house
moggy put some minor nicks in the seat surface.
Excellent condition for this model. Gearsack rack will be thrown in
(if you want to spoil the appearance and do some practical touring)
Rego XIK27 (expires end of this month but will easily renew)
Better be quick tho' as I'm putting it on the open market in a couple
of days
Regards
Jim Richardson : jimr@...
Hi Graham, thanks for the info I really appreciate it!! and I'll check over all
the things you've mentioned

Check for carb flooding, this could be due to
1. Corroded needles and or jets.
2. The float level may have changed due the bowl
sitting empty and drying out.
Other possible carb problems could be
1. Water in fuel system
2. Blocked idle jets (sediment settlement or just blocked)
3. Blocked fuel lines (fuel cock?)
Drain the fuel and put in a fresh batch, in NZ after three months the
fuel is useless due to the additives and blends breaking down.
Confirm that you have a good spark, if not identify the source of the
weak spark

Hi, am having a bit of a problem. Because my bike (GS250FW) had been
sitting for around 4-5 months I decided to get it serviced. The
serviceing has now been done, new plugs, leads, oil, battery, etc but
can't get her to fire. There is no problem with the bike turning over it
just won't start, and I've also tried jump starting in second and third
gear but to no avail. Please if someone out there could give me any tips
on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.

could give me any tips on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had a decent picture of a GS250FW. I've
looked through the yahoo albums, but they're all pretty low quality.
Thanks!
Carl
Hi Malcolm,
Have you downloaded the service manual from the yahoo site? Section
4.23 and 4.24 go into re-timing the engine and putting the cams back
in. There's a few diagrams of how it's supposed to be timed, as well as
quite a thorough procedure to follow.
I'd forget about the scratch marks you've made on the cams and chain and
follow this procedure to get it back in line.
If you'd like a copy of the pages, let me know.
Cheers,
Carl

On the weekend I put my head back on my GS250fwd 83,
When I'll pulled my cams out I marked (scratched) my chain so it matched the 3
and the arrow on the cam gear. now I am putting my cams back in after replacing
the head gasket I am a little stumped. The mark I did points at the arrow in one
position and If I move the cam 1 tooth difference the mark on the chain points
between the arrow and the #3 I cant remember whice one it was.
The cyl 2 and 3 are at the top of there strokes and the cylinder 3 is starting
to open the inlet valve. I have not bolted the cams back in yet as I am not sure
if i am correct or 1 tooth out.
I hope this is clear enough.
If there is anyone that can help me or give me some advice to solving this
problem. It would be much appreciated.

Hi Guys,
Two posts in one day! I'm after a set of piston rings for a GS250FW -
I've tried suzuki, and they say that they can get them - at a cost
which is a bit steep for me. I was wondering if anyone around here
had a set, or knew of anyone who has them, any one who imports stuff
like this, basically any information at all?
I've tried suziparts, parts finder, calling ring manufacturers etc.
It seems that noone has any in stock, for a reasonable price..
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Carl
Hi Grant,
What year's your Katana? You might find that it's similar to the
GSX250F (Across), which I think was around since '91. The GS250FW and
GF250 have early variations on this engine - from what I understand.
Cheers,
Carl

blew the door off my old gt250 and gave the "new "rz250 a fright
my question-is the motor the same as that in the "newish"250 katanas?
i have 3 pop up headlight 750s and the boys in the club have several
250's between them but we cant locate a workshop manual.

There is a GS250FW on eBay that somebody might be interested in for
parts or for repair. Presently $300.

Hi Gary, I have the same problem with my bike. A friend has put me onto a
ex-mechanic who for 14 years worked for porche and ferrari and he fix's
cars/bikes for pure enjoyment, for a small fee of course. Hoping to take my bike
to him in about a week so once he finds the prob I can email you if you like.
Regards,
Anthony

Hi Garry,
I see your concern...the carbs do seem to be a nightmare at times..I've had
problems myself were as it would start perfect then i would try ride and would
not get up and go till after about 5500 rpm...so my discovery which I'm sure is
going to be yours...check the choke needles and see if there is carbon build-up
around them if so use 1200 grit waterproof sand paper and clean them till they
are like goldish looking.. also so that you know make sure that the Diaphragms
rubbers have no cracks...you never mentioned how you know the carbie is OK you
sure the floats height is correct ( example 20mm +/- 1mm) and make sure that the
Pilot jet ( 30 marked ) is not slightly blocked and the Pilot air jet is clean
too ( marked 160) on the jet the two main one's either side of the float..Note:
it wouldn't harm to actually clean the Plunger Pistons connected to Diaphragms
with 1200 grit sand paper.. also you mentioned idling idling screw is
between the carbs adjust so its about 1250 -1300
rpm ...hope this is some help
Safe riding
Brendon.

Hi
I am still trying to get my 83 gs250fwd going. I have
it in a gokart.
I am currently missing a spring out of a carbie that
pushes the
diaphram up. The part is not made anymore by Suzuki, I
have
called lots of places in Melbourne but still no luck.
Any ideas??
