so I've got my 98 model 600 Kat that has been an ongoing project. just in the past 6 months or so have I actully gotten it street legal and started riding it.
on more than one occasion, it has died on me while going down the road. its always acted like it ran out of gas, started sputtering and died. I've re-routed the fuel line to where i can see the fuel filter through the left side body panel so i could see if there's fuel in the line while im riding, just glance down and comfirm theres fuel in the filter. at one point i thought that when i re-routed the fuel line, it was getting pinched in between the panel and frame. pretty sure that i've ruled that out since i've made a hard line to go from the petcock to the filter now and from the filter to the fuel rail on the carbs.
I've replaced the fuel lines and filter on more than one occasion, i've done my best to sync the carbs, that was a learning experience and very frustrating to start with but I feel confident that they are good to go now.
is it possible that the O-ring on the carb boot is leaking and not allowing enough vacuum to pull open the petcock? I've also drained the tank, removed the petcock and taken it apart once or twice to see if there was any trash in it, always been clean.
its begining to get pretty frustrating, should i just get carb rebuild kits and new O-rings and do all that next?
