 :welcome:

What exactly do you want to know? Here's a thread I posted a while back but the photos are now missing.

I was told by a mikuni dealer that the only place to get the replacement emulsion tubes was from a suzuki parts dealer. I ordered them from bikebandit.com. The plastic slide is only available with a set of carbs so happy hunting for bst-33s. I luckily had a spare set with good slides in them.

Since fixing the plastic slides the bike runs like a champ. So happy I figured it out and fixed it.

Im most worried about wear on the slides, and curious what to look for when I get in there, is it obvious, or should I be looking for something subtle?
