Dale, have a 76 suzuki TS 125 from across the pond here in the uk. Your channel has been so much help, huge in fact.........i look forward to more content......thank you so much and stay safe.
Thanks Kevin, glad it has been some use to you. More content is coming, more on this bike, and several new bikes in the future, your my first comment from the UK. I thank you for watching, I know some of them have been hard to watch, hopefully Im getting better at it.
Hi Dale love your videos your explanation is so easy to understand. I have the same carburettor have you the part number for the float bowl gasket and the jet O ring
Hey Gary, yes both of them are still available from your Suzuki dealer or you can order from RockymountianATV/MC.com there is a diagram there and you can order straight from them.
@@montana2strokeracer this video helped me diagnose 2 different issues that I had with my carburetor. I put my float needle in upside down and hooked up my throttle incorrectly. ( I am new to working on bikes). Your video is quality is great, and your explanations are super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Hi, thank you. Yes, I can tell you some of what I use, mineral spirits for the solvent tank, Simple green Pro for the ultrasonic cleaner, Metal rescue for de-rusting parts, brake clean, electrical cleaner, lacquer thinner, Isopropyl alcohol, all used to clean appropriate parts. I'm sure there is more but that is the most used stuff. Thanks for hanging out in the shop with me.
thanks Dale not their yet but will come in handy . after watching you put high low case together found i needs some parts there so thanks . what brand of paint did you use on engine cases and are you painting the engine head and what paint will you use on that if so thanks
Hi John, glad to hear things are going right along for you. I ended up with Rust-Oleum #7715 Aluminum for the side cases, I bead blasted the head and cylinder, so they are going back on just their natural color.
I’ve got a Suzuki ts125r 1994 I’m from the U.K. I’ve replaced the exhaust power valves new air filter and a new gasket on exhaust power valves. And now when I open it up it don’t want to go full power it sounds like the carb is sucking to much air in I don’t know what I’m doing with a carb ether thanks.
Hi, your dealing with a newer bike than Im use to, I am not familiar with the exhaust power valve set up. But your problem sounds like its not getting enough fuel. That could be fuel obstruction somewhere in the carb, line, petcock, or tank. Or if the fuel delivery is all ok then the engine may not be able to suck the fuel in. The most common fault there is crankshaft seals. For checking them ,the magneto side you can see if the seal is still in. I believe the clutch side you cant see, so the cases need to be split to replace that side if they are the same as the early to late 70's models that I deal with. The best way to check seals is to do a leak down test on the cylinder. Look on TH-cam there are several videos for 2 cycle leak down test. Sorry couldnt be more help but it is hard to know with out having access to the bike. Hope I have been some help. Thanks for watchin, and good luck with your bike.
Hi Jake, most of these carbs will run just fine if the float arm is adjusted to be parallel with the gasket surface. But the measurement is .268 inches down from the part of the casting that the brass jet goes into that has the o-ring on it.

Thanks for sharing brother. That carb had a lot in common with the KE 175 carb
LOL on the floats.... thanks on the video info, I was not aware of the main jet "o" ring.
Thanks Jeff
I was curious about the floats, had to skip through to see if you remembered.
Never a dull moment here. Thanks for watchin

Great video! Seriously jealous of your shop! Quick question.. could you share what cleaning chemicals you use?

Is the float bowl height universal? If not by chance do you know the spec for a 1974 tc125? Can’t find it anywhere. Thanks!

Is this the same as tf125 1981
Hi, I am not familiar with the TF125, I have a feeling that model wasn't imported to the US, sorry I can't be more help.
I have a 73 tc125 just wandering what gap the points are supose to be set at ?
Brian, My Suzuki manual calls for .012 to .016. Thanks for watching.
@@montana2strokeracer thank you
