Any one got a link or even paperwork they would be happy to send

theyre just called vm32's, folks call them flat slides, but theyre not, others call them smooth bores, which theyre not either. theyre just ordinary slide carbs, albeit larger than the usual sets of slide carbs and pretty rare.
there are some suzuki setup manuals floating round on the www. i will have a scout round.
