May be a silly question but with this electronic timing and what I’m seeing from the diagram online would this bike run with a good battery and bad stator untill the battery died?
@@patrickgates8548 yes. But not for very long!
I have the same color tank on this project I just picked up
Thanks a lot !! Big help.
The screws are not Phillips, but JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) :)
Camera looks great! Thanks for sharing.

hi peter, i'm having to do the same to my clocks, where did you get the bevel lense from. cheers graham.
Hi The ebay supplier i used 4 yrs ago has disappeared but try this supplier. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155978090540?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lV863jLLQjq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VTsB7-c5Rim&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY He sells different sizes I'm sorry i dont remember the size. Good luck
Hey Peter, I realize this is and old post, but do you know where I can obtain a complete 72 airbox?
Very difficult now. If your in the UK try D and K in stoke
Thank you for posting this. Much appreciated!
Thanks mate!
I just assembled the airbox, insertions made much easier by slightly heating the rubber with a heat gun. Everything came together nicely, except I have a one inch gap between the top of the airbox and the frame. Not sure if this is because the rubber shrunk. May try to heat it and stretch it so the screws can reach
Peter, a big thank you for your instructions on this! Played your video right next to where I was working on the bike and the throttle sync came out perfectly. Thanks again!
Can I run-in a GT750 with semi synth. Taking the pill lines out of a rebuilt engine is a bot drastic.
Choice of oil is personal. Yes you can run semi synthetic. Dont understand your other query?
I am wary of using semi synth for running in but the last owner filled the tank with Silkoline semi synth. I notice that it is noticeably thinner than mineral. It makes me wary to use it for running in.
@@TroyaE117 i would never run a bike without replacing the 2t oil as it could be contaminated. Drain the whole system then use your choice of oil. I prefer mineral to run a new engine in as the semi and full synthetic is too protective and the internals need to wear in together. Hope this helps
@@peterholmes2067 it looks like the Silkoline semi has been discontinued, or at best is becoming hard to find. The Comma and Castrol semi synths are thinner and they make me very. I plan to run in for the first 1000 miles. I trust that os enough?
Make me wary that is.
Hello Peter, can you tell me what the float height is, and is it measured with or without the gasket? Thanks
Hi. You may find this link for the GT550 gives all the information you require. www.3cyl.com/mraxl/gt/manuals/gt550jman/550-40.htm
This is also a great forum to join lots of info and advice. www.kettleclinic.co.uk/kcforum/
@@peterholmes2067 much thanks!
Thanks Peter, I’m rebuilding my carbs and this has been very helpful. Only thing that confounds me is the parts schematic shows an o-ring for the throttle valve adjustment screw, but mine didn’t have them and it doesn’t look like yours does either.
Hi that is correct if they are not already on then they are not required. Good luck.
Hi. Once i removed the tiny screw holding the reset knob i wiggled it out. Hope this helps and good luck
How did you get the trip reset arm out of the housing? I can't remove the clock. As the metal arm is catching
It is possible to change the rubber seal without removing the metal part. I also found Suzuki ones very expensive and replaced mine with a Kawasaki one, much cheaper!
IMHO no because you will damage it trying to squeeze it in. Yes i have found some Kwaka parts are the same.
@@peterholmes2067 Sorry, I was saying it IS possible. th-cam.com/video/fvfO8d82mKs/w-d-xo.html
@@InTheShedUK oh okay. My video was about service of the whole cap which included removing rust and crud from the underside of the chrome shell👍🙂
awesome vid. and low teck trick ty
another usefull tip.😁
hi peter, ive just discovered this video, great stuff, this will help me do my gt550k. 😀 i have just purchased the SK-1 synchrometer, I never know how to ballance carbs.
thank you for posting this, my brakes work so much better now.
What is that good for…?
It pulls the manifold couplers tight so they are sealed tight. No escape of gas
@@peterholmes2067 ok, just to install them as tight as possible? Any experience with Allspeed pipes?
Sorry no never had them
Brilliant tip w/ the clothes pin.
hi, wanted to ask something, when running the electronic ignition, do you still need to run with battery? the original contact points runs on battery
Yes it must have a good fully charged battery
@@peterholmes2067 thanks for replying mate!!! think the only way to eliminate the battery is by modifying the bike to fit a 12v permanent magnet type stator w/capacitor.. but as far as i know, no one makes a kit like that
Hi, sir. Do you have the others components originals with this system?
I'm sorry I sold the parts last year
@@peterholmes2067 no for sell. I wanna know if the parts in this video are originals to work with electronic ignition accent
@@dpaleduevolte4785 Accent system works very well with the motorcycle it replaces the contact plate and ignition cam.
nice. did you record the adjusting proces?
Where did you buy it from?
Send an email to uwe.gottwald@accent-electronic.com He is german but has good english
Just rotate disc as you do with points plate. I use a strobe light. These bikes are not highly tuned and work well using the factory mark through the window in the disc

I’ve got a 1975 GT550 that fouls the left carb plug. I don’t know how many times I pulled the carbs and tried all sorts of things to try and fix it with no luck. Change jetting, adjust float height, etc etc etc. Sick of carrying extra plugs and plug wrench and it dying on me out on the street periodically, I gave up on it and now it sits in my garage collecting dust. It’s in amazing shape, other than this ONE issue. The other plugs always look good. If you have any thoughts on why this may be, I’d love to hear them.
Hi. Sorry to hear of your problem. Firstly i would return your jetting and float height to stock. The float height is crucial here and cannot be adjusted. My first course of action would be to check that the choke piston on the offending carb is closing fully and not sticking on the bore as they have a habit of doing. This problem will cause the plug to foul and affect performance too. Secondly have a look at this forum www.kettleclinic.co.uk/kcforum/search.php? A friendly bunch and lots of info with a large GT550 section. Good luck

@@peterholmes2067 Thank you so much for your thoughts - much appreciated. I will investigate all of these things! 👍
I recently came into possession of my grandfathers 1975 GT550, and have been working towards a full restoration. One of my early challenges has been finding good sources of information on maintenance and where to find replacement parts, as I have no prior experience working with automobiles. Your link has already been incredibly helpful so far!! @@peterholmes2067
Dead. Jealous. :))
Aha the starter clutch problem !
Question about the diaphragm, one side of the thin rubber has the hole but the other side does not, the side for the spring does not and the metal circle on it has no hole like yours. Is that ok?
Hi. The design changed with later models so its possible. Try putting tube on vacuum feed and gently suck. You should feel/hear it moving back and forward.
Hi. Are they original pipes? It sounds like you have aftermarket expansion chambers. Original equipment is like mine on the video. Later bikes 1974 on that were destined for Europe lost the crossflow pipes but North American all had crossflow. Hope this helps you!
After crawling underneath it, I learned that it is missing, my family member whom it was loaned to until I became 18 did not take good care of it. The amount of missing parts and things that need replacing is driving me nuts, thank you for all of your videos, I hope I can rebuild this beast.
I am trying to fix up my old 1972 Suzuki gt550 but I am confused, I only have 3 pipes (no crossover) where as all I see online are 4. Do I have the wrong year or is there more then one type of gt550 from 1972?
I heard you mention the diaphragm is available for purchase. Do you know any online retailers that carry it?
They sell them on this site hard-to-find-parts.de/epages/aff9fb37-1c0b-4b3c-8be3-a10a53d7f9b8.mobile/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/aff9fb37-1c0b-4b3c-8be3-a10a53d7f9b8/Products/%22VS%2044300-31051Membrane%22&ViewAction=ViewProduct
Brilliant Peter,never stop learning. Thanks matey.
There is a bleed screw on the side of the pump. Unscrew it a little until you see oil. Then it full of oil. The pump suck the oil through its not fed by gravity. The pump is powerful enough to collapse the storage tank.
Did you have to bleed the pump to tank line? I’m just putting mine together but I didn’t see the pump suck in oil from the tank when I started the bike.
another person besides myself who actually breaks in an engine on mineral oil! cool video theres a shortage of smart mechanics and an abundance of idiots on youtube. just subbed :)
Ebay is your friend for replacement oil injection lines.
where i can get one oil injection lines for my suzuki 750GT- 1975
If you have a slacks or Napa auto parts nearby they may be able to make one for you
Where did you order these?? Could you shoot me the link please? I would greatly appreciate it
m.ebay.com/itm/Honda-CBR1100-Blackbird-Clear-Turn-Signal-Indicator-DRL-Switchback-Kit-/162640204146 There you go
i need reduce the 2 stroke oil mix . I buy this bike and i check check valve , and every thing is ok . when i open the pump cap ,the arm its in the same position of yours pump arm . what can i do to reduce the mix ? thanks for any help
You should not have to reduce the amount of oil mixed. This pump works very well. If there is too much oil something else is wrong. If someone has taken the pump apart it's possible to reassemble it wrong so that it puts too much oil out at idle and not enough when the throttle is opened.
hi Sr ,my question is , after check the carbs alinement by the little hole , i have to adjust the thortlle cable to the little oil pump arm be alined in that little mark together .is this ?
Great method. Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this.
Hi mine is a 1972 J model but the taps were changed after the K model because only a single feed was required to the gang carbs instead of three feeds to three independent carbs. however the diaphragms were all the same.
