I researched everything for you and the following should answer all your questions ............
The following is from an article by Bryan Felsher on February 26, 2002............
It's too simple to need a diagram. Remove the gas tank, seat, battery, battery box, tool box and
side covers. Then unscrew the top of the carbo
Don't strip it out! It's pretty tight working space.
Now remove everything and you'll see two small bolts holding a small metal plate. Unscrew them paying attention two the way it goes on so you can put
it back the same way. Now after carefully taking out the needle you'll see a white spacer. Remove this and keep it somewhere. Put everything back together the way you took it apart. Presto.
The secret to mechanics is paying attention
to the way you remove things so you can put it
back together the same way! You'll need to adjust the low speed fuel mixture. One and a half to Two turns out should be good if you haven't modified anything else like jets, airbox, or pipes.
The followinng is from January, 1997 Rider magazine..........
We can also fatten up the low end of your bike's carburetor by turning out the low-speed mixture screw. To gain access to
this screw, you'll need to drill out the brass plug pressed in over it and yank it out with a sheet-metal screw attached to a slide hammer. You'll fmd that plug up high on the right side of the carb about where the mouth enters the carburetor. Usually Suzuki applies a splash of white paint over the brass plug so that it's immediately noticeable. With the engine warmed up and idling, turn the mixture screw out incrementally until you achieve the highest idle. There will be no doubt in your mind that you're making progress because the idle will come up and sound stronger. At this point, turn the idle adjuster knob out and bring the idle back down to a leisurely gait.
I hope that answers your questions.......
