I'm new to this site. I have a 1994 750 Katana and can't get it to start. It was sitting for 3 years when I tried starting it up. The gas had dried and varnish built up in the carbs. I took it apart and thoroughly soaked them, put them back together and tried starting it again. The bike would briefly fire up but can't get up on the revs to hold idle. I've adjusted the pilot screw, float height and bench sync the carbs. It seems there is not enough fuel going through the carb bore and into the cylinders to bring the revs up.
Does the float height make a huge difference? The float was set below 14.6mm (around 10 mm) before I brought them up. What effects does raising or lower the float have on the idle circuit?
Also, it took 4 turns out on the pilot screw to just get it to fire up, setting it at 2.5 turns shows no signs of firing up.
Any help would be appreciated.
