No, not a night in Vegas.....

A 1973 Suzuki GT550 Indy.

I bought this off Ebay 4 years ago and finally found the time to get 'er screaming.
Someone years ago filled the cylinders with oil and put it away. The oil was very difficult to remove and would foul the plugs. Eventually it would run but then filled all the exhaust pipes with oil. What a mess! I took off all the exhaust pipes and "cleared her out" in the drive way. It was impressive! The flames shooting out of the exhaust ports in succession and the the smoke was incredible LOL!!

Well it runs great now. Not an easy motor to tune. Three carbs with no linkage and nowhere to add a mercury manometer. Also the head has to be removed to get a dial indicator on the pistons to set the timing with three seperate points. Runs like new now, good snappy power and awesome two stroke sound and smell.

Now that it runs perfectly, I can detail, paint, etc....

Yee haw, Tuna.
