Unscrew the little cap on the carb and pull a little on the cable. A little piston with a pin on the end should slide out. If it's broken you might need to get a screw extractor in there to get it...

Mine was acting like that when I got it. I put a new chain on it and it rides like a new bike.

The normal procedure for testing the starter is to bypass that relay by jumping the terminals and seeing if it turns. Since you're having electrical issues to begin with, you could just jump the...

Yeah, it runs well with the new setup. I'm tempted to say it runs better, but that might just be the money I spent to set it up talking.

Two things for sure: it runs cooler after the re jet and it...

I use a pod filter. It works fine.

I don't know if there's much mechanical difference between the two. The main thing I think would be the look.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.

does it start to bog down first and then stop, or is it sudden like you hit the kill switch?

Your valve... broke off? Wow.

Ebay is where I would look first, then maybe a salvage yard, then probably a Suzuki dealer. Good luck.

So I assume the starter is cranking the engine which means you have power. I'd throw a new plug in there first even though it tested good on your lawnmower just to be on the safe side. You could try...

If that's the case and the choke is somehow stuck on, check the new plug and see if it's fouled. If it is, then that's a possibility.

Try greasing the starter circuit.

Or is it the same as with the GZ that hasn't been factory modified since the beginning of time?
