Resurrecting a abandoned Suzuki 230… i think

[Gwbarm]

I thought it would probably be the Mikuni, they are good carbs. You may have to get a kit just to replace the gaskets, i wouldnt replace the jets they are OEM. Looking at the photos you sent i also thought it was an 86.

Those striped wires on that reg that look like yellow are presumably white, and their description would be W/r and w/l, l being what they use for blue. That being the case, I think you have got the 1987 230..

R/w mean a red wire with a white stripe, W/r means a white wire with a red stripe.

The carb, if it's original, will have the Id number shown in that other pdf.. Something like 22A00, 18A00, 18A01 or 25C00. I would trust the regulator wiring more than the carb id though because carbs are easy to change, but the wiring isn't.

You are correct that’s what what I’m seeing 1987. I look at the rest of my harness and compared the rest of the wires. Everything matches up

I was scrolling through different online parts house and ran across a part listed for a model G or model H. I thought there was just a LT-230 and LT-230S. What is this G and H. I know S is sport. I do not have a sport. I have the big racks

Get the manual, it describes the differences from the base model and year in the supplement at the back. There are heaps of minor differences, cdi, carbs, body panels, chain or shaft drive.. Those are some I've noticed, there might be more.

[Mech]

Look at the supplement's index, that tells you what the differences are straight away. If the supplement doesn't mention something, then it's the same as the base model.

[Gwbarm]

Kind of confusing S is chain drive kick start. E is electric, pullstart. G is shaft drive.

[Mech]

Oh ok. I'd never clicked to that..  Well done.

They do have other differences though too.. like body, cdi, carb etc.

Looks to be lt250. Utility machine. Maybe 84 or 85. I own a 84 lt185 bought new in 84. The dealer was out of 250 so I bought the185. The next week the 250s were back in stock,bummer. Still have the 185 and still runs.
