I have decided to rebuild my engine and carbs this winter on my 82 Suzuki SP250. I cant seem to find the rebuild kit for the carb. Or the engine gaskets and rings. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. If I go through with the rebuild I will take pics and update regularly.
Thanks Chris

Are you totally aware that a total engine rebuil will cost you around 1000 $ maybee a lot more depending on it's condition.

Why not buy another engine off e-bay. Or even buy a scrapped bike for parts ?

If go buy original peaces your carbs only will cost you around 500$.

when I rebuilt the top end on my 83 Suzuki GS650GL last winter, cost me less than $200CAD - $110 for the complete engine gasket kit (only way I could get the ones I needed), $65 to a machine shop to remove one broken cam cover bolt, and $5 for a small jar of lapping compound.

It really isn't a tough job, as long as you have a modicum of knowledge of how to use simple tools, a manual, and warm, well lit place to work.

And an SP is only a one-lunger 4 stroke... I hope to hell it don't eat up a grand to redo it..... but stranger things have happened.
