Tap the bowl with the end of your screwdriver handle see if you can free up the needle and seat and stop that leak. The only way it can leak out of there is if the needle is open letting fuel run right through
Judson L Thanks. I'm up and running and have even painted some of the parts now. Check out my instagram for pics (captaincph). But my riding season is coming to an end soon so i will be storing the bike. Good luck on your project.
Thanks man. I actually went out into the garage after watching your video and I got mine running! Haha so now I can start the building process. I'll check out your Instagram. Mine is Judson.el, if you're interested.
What line on the carb are you running fuel through? I’m having a problem on mine and I changed the fuel line and took fuel filter out and it ran for a couple minutes idling then it cut off and no fuel was in the fuel line… idk what it is?? At first it wouldn’t start with the fuel filter that’s why I took it off to begin with. Do I need a bigger fuel line or is something else happening?
+Thijs Kennis The bike is finally street legal and running. The brake discs were too worn/thin and had to be changed. I hope to upload a new video soon. Stay tuned.
Thanks for the videos! I just started working on my 82 gs650 and am wondering what you did with your air box and air filter box... Did you have any air filters on at the time of the video? And I'm currently debating restring the OEM air filter box or gutting it all for pod filters - any thoughts?
Thanks for the question. It has pods. When trying to start it i had them off because i was taking the carbs off a lot and that made it easier. Personally i prefer the pods look as i feel it opens up the frame/engine area. I understand that filters play an important role in the proper running of the engine but i never got around to the perfect tuning of the carbs. Good luck on your rebuild.
It depends where you are from. Im from Denmark and there are a number of online stores that have parts available. I dont know if they ship international. You could try this one. www.louis-moto.com/en/bike-database/suzuki-gs-650-g-katana/gs650g/0129?back=&categoryKey=ROOT&ipp=48&page=2&sort=recommendation&viewMode=grid
Im thinking of buying a 1983 SUZUKI “GS650G” list is $3000 is it reasonable to talk him down it seems in good shape? suggestions appreciated, to add it is 100% original so it can be insured as a collectors bike, makes insurance cheaper

I purchased one of these BRAND NEW in 1982, owned it for a year and LOVED IT!
Love your video! I just got a 650g myself
Nice work man! I've got a 1983 gs650 that I'm currently struggling with. Hopefully I'll have as much luck as you!

+Judson L Nice one! 👍
I just bought an 83 wish me luck.
Good luck 🍀
Although these videos are very old, I'd love to see the result of these mods!
Been looking to buy a GS650 Katana myself too
