My 91 Kat 1100 is down, has been for a couple of weeks. I had started to notice it was missing while at low rpm's then would clean out at the upper end. Then I started smelling gas when I was idling, not a fun thing. It looked to be coming out of the #2 carb. All the obvious has been checked. Our little Banned buddy here had cleaned and installed my jet kit and baselined the bike, I double checked when reinstalling. Ran great when first done even though I did not sync them, yet. About 3k miles later I have this problem. I cleaned carbs again, and they were spotless, double checked linkage etc,, and pulled plugs, #1 and #2 fuel fowled badly, black and sooty and wet, weeks after bike was parked. the other 2 plugs were fine. Just to be safe I rebuilt the fuel petcock with the K and L kit. Tommorow I will try and do some more work, maybe start it with my aux tank,, for syncing, do i split the fuel line in to match the factory setup?
any help is really appreciated as i need to get back on this bike. BTW, it does use some oil, maybe a quart and a little more every 1k. I was planning on redoing the motor this winter, big bore kit and rebuilt head etc.
