i just got my 86 put back together after 4 months of "rebuilding" (new bore and top end, just didnt have time to finish it) starts good, runs good, etc...
my problem: it is spitting out gas from what i am assuming is the overflow on the carb after i shut it off. It spits a little out the hose, then sits for 5 mins or so, then spits more out again. I know my petcock isnt sealing properly, so gas is constantly flowing down there, but i should be able to leave the gas on and nothing should be coming out the overflow. What adjustment do i need to make to the carb? where should i start?
Thanks,

Gotta ask a question. Does anyone know how i can get my 230 to run without me? I coud never sale it, but since my son came into this world, i no longer get a chance to ride. Guess it could be moth balled, waiting on him to grow up. But will there be anywhere to ride it in 15 years?
I have always been amazed at how well the "230 help" forum has done. I drop in from time to time expecting the last post to be 6 mounths old. You guys have a passion for this machine that far exceeds anything I could have imagined.
Think I will take the old girl out this weekend. That is if I can get it started

I got a 1986 Suzuki 230lts, but lately I've had some problems with it, it seams to running bad when it gets to running for a while, When you really get after it for a while like running down a long strait away or racing at high rpms around our track. It has a very low idle, if you blurb the gas it will stall most of the time but it will usually start back up, The valves were re-adjusted, air filter cleaned and carb cleaned, should i try some thicker oil? right now im running 10w 40, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
