Re: bonnet heater vents full of s**t.????

I have an old but very powerful "garage" vacuum cleaner - I tape a length of fuel tube of the correct diameter (a size that goes through the vent sections) to the suction nozzle being careful to cover up any air leaks. A bit time consuming as one bit of leaf etc will block the pipe but it ...

I bought the service pack from those burlen folk for 30 quid so think it is getting a proper overhaul when that arrives. Anything to look out for inside the carb?? Oh and also ...

Re: leaking axle and prop spacers, need some advice please

Chan I've just spent about an hour looking on Difflock trying to find two threads about overhauling front and rear axles on an SJ. I can tell you that the rear axle thread is readily accessible on the Forum first page under "Suzuki" - it's entitled "How to guide - rear wheel wheel bea...

Identifying non-original Suzuki parts by Part Number

They are brand new and boxed after market parts - all I know is that they do not fit my 1988 Japanese built SJ410 and I want to place an advert for them at a very cheap price - I really just wa...
