Any good source on metric orings in town. Have to pull the carbs out of the FZ and give them a going over. Cylinder 2 seems like its flooding, and this sounds like a common issue with the orings under the float valve going hard and brittle.

Jeff has a metric O-ring kit, and he probably knows the properties of the rings therein (like whether they are fuel compatible) and where he sourced the kit. I have a similar kit, but mine was a gift and I don't know much about it - I imagine it is primarily intended for hydraulic applications. If the o-ring is part of the inlet valve, it would be in regular carn kits and available at the dealer, right? When I needed an o-ring for the enrichener system on the DR350 (a really oddball unit that is actually part of the float assembly) I just found a SAE one I liked the id of and sanded down the od - but that would be a pain on four carbs, I admit, and the inlet system is fussy.

If yours are the standard round push ins that Yamaha, Honda and Kawi all ionly sell as a needle and seat set there is hope! Suzuki sells these gems seperately. Go see Maxine at NR. CHEERS.
