Most likely an unsuccessful carb cleaning, ima.

It is essential that all tiny passages are cleared. Someimes it requires running a wire through the smaller ones, particularly the passages into the carb throat.

Good luck.

Suzuki's carbs are sensitive ... like JB said, you need to soak in carb cleaner for 24hrs and blow out with compressed air ....

carb was soaked in a hot tank boiled out and cleaned blown out and every little hole was cleaned. i watched the guy do it but i wasn't there when he put it back together and synced the carbs unless he screwed that part of it up
