  • 94 Kat 600 running issues

    hey guys, new to the forums hoping you could help me out abit. I just got a 94 Kat 600 thats been sitting awhile. Drained the fuel, put new gas in (BTW, should i be running a high octane?), changed the air filter, got new coils and boots and the plugs look fairly new. Now heres the problem, i can get the bike to fire up but im getting no throttle response, it stays around 1k rpm then will die. I adjusted the throttle screw and it seems like it wants to jump up to 3k. Now, occansionally the bike will fire, idle normally, good throttle response. When i first fired it up and revved it up a bit, little chunks of debris shoot out the tail pipe. Now its bogging and backfiring and will shut off. Any suggestions? When i pulled the air box out, i peeked in at the carbs and they seem pretty clean although I am fairly new to the concept of them and i know sometimes looks can be decieving.

    any help will be appricated, thanks guys

    spray water on exhaust pipes and you can see if you have any valves / compression / syncro carb problem on a piston.

    i'd start with a full cleaning carbs.

      Yup: a full carb cleaning is in order if it was sitting around for a while.
