Suzuki GT550 2 Stroke Triple First Ride
1973 Suzuki GT550 Indy 3 Cylinder 2 Stroke First Ride in 10 Years!
After a long nap, it's time to wake up this GT550. In the previous episodes of this series, I cleaned the carburetors, restored the gas tank and installed a new battery, air filters, fuel line with filter and petcock. Then, I started the bike up on the 3rd kick but it smoked like a choochoo train indicating possible blown crank seals. Watch this video to see me take this bike on its first test ride and see if it continues to smoke or not!

No one calls oil /fuel ratios rich or lean as it creates confusion ! And as stated even with new two stroke oils 32 to 1 is very lite mix , little oil at all .

    Yes ! New tyres. I sold my Gt550 because it drank more than a sailor that hasn’t seen land for 6 months. Just remember - the oil feed works parallel to the throttle! eg; the engine is doing 5000rpm on a closed throttle means it’s getting a supply of oil that’s just sufficient for tick-over. Please think about this. With the engine and ignition turned off you can set the oil-pump setting and you will see after having removed the oil-pump cover what happens when you open and close the throttle. Best wishes from Düsseldorf Sher 😉

    Maybe the gearbox oil leaked into the crankcase(s). If any crank seals are shot, the idle speed, even for a two stroke, will be too high and very erratic. Ignition timing accuracy is critical on these or it's hole in piston time. The 32:1 was good insurance as the oil feed was an unknown. Good resurrection.
