| Just because the fuel comes out of the fuel bowl doesn't mean its getting to the cylinder, are the plugs wet? |

Does your bike get left on the side stand or center stand.. If side stand then i sometimes have this problem, The fuel drains from the 3&4th carbs and will cause it to do the same,
I now hod the bike upright and let the bowls fill for a while b4 starting.
If i open the thrrottle when i ty to start it, it stalls and wont run right and all the plugs need cleaning. ( i run 33mm smoothbores though).. But the problem sounds the same.
As it is two cylinders run by two seperate coils it seems like its the carbs at fault.
The joys of a Kat..  |
