More little problems,my rocker cover gasket seems to have disintegrated after a few short weeks it was a cork type one so i've ordered one from japarts but i also need a carburettor gasket and bolts as the previous mechanic has the carb held on with threaded rod with 2 nuts missing and the others not tightened up,is it possible to get just the carb gasket or do i have to shell out for a complete set.Oh and of course i've sheared one of the rocker cover bolts so need one of them as well.Anyone any idea where i can get these from i've not had much luck looking on the net and didn't get time to ring round today.One day i'll get round to some serious offroading.

Hi,

I had the same problem with the rocker cover. I had the same problem with a rocker cover bolt - to get the snapped bolt out use one of those special bits (which drill counterclockwise) that you can get from a motor factor - use a small drill to create a pilot hole and then screw the bit in. Because it works counterclockwise it brings the snapped section out. I got new bolts from a main dealer (not expensive), and I would recommend replacing the special washers the bolts all go through - perished ones will leak, and again they're not much money.

Cheers,

Matt.

I agree with Matt,
A good suzuki dealer should get them for you, as those parts are not that expensive.
And in the long run , you be better off.
The rocker cover gasket, carb gasket, nuts and bolts, and get a new set of rocker cover bolts and the sealed washers is also a must.
