1978 Suzuki GS550E Carb Clean Rebuild

Cleaning/rebuilding the carburetor on my 1978 Suzuki GS550E. Including trying the aluminum fuel rail tee's from ebay. This should be a similar process for most of the Suzuki non-cv type carb's. GS550, GS550L, GS650, GS750.

For everyone wondering. These carbs are VM22SS model. My fuel screw settings are at 2 turns, air screw setting at 2 turns as well. I would start with fuel screw at 2 screws and adjust pilot using the side air screws so you don’t have to remove the carbs every time to adjust it. Make sure your fuel screw needle tips aren’t broken off into their carburetor ports.

My jet sizes: (I’m using pods)
Main 80
Mid 50
Pilot 17.5

If you’re having trouble with idle, get a bottle of starter fluid and look for air leaks. I’m chasing one as we speak.

Does there belong air vent hose between no. two and three carbs? That small black one?

Why didn't You pressure test them, individually - before assembling?
Did You just use the old gasket under the fuel inlet seat, there? Good luck with Your fuel levels! LOL 🤣

Nice video. Do you have a link to the aluminum fuel tees from eBay? Were they new or used? Thanks

What were your adjustments screws set at? I have the exact same bike and I'm sure mine are off from factory.

If this was meant to be a tutorial, I'd say this video isn't very helpful. A lot of the action happens hidden from the camera, and the background colours and lighting was bad. And, You should learn how to use Your voice!
It would also be nice, if You put in som info on the different circuits - and the parts for those, if You have such knowledge...
Model of carburettors, should always be mentioned. Stamped on the flange nearest to the engine. If You don't understand the importance of using the parts numbers and model numbers for references, You shouldn't be doing this stuff.
