1993 Katana 600
Frustration...I'm sure everyone's experienced it...so I'm gonna keep this short
- Same problem with two different set of carbs (latest one from Special so I know they're good) Keith also did all the adjustments (air/fuel mix screw)...so I don't believe carbs are a problem
- Using motion pro aux tank to take the gas tank/gas lines out of the equation
- Just today: New Oil, New Filter, Fuel in-line filters, Sparkplugs
Still the same problem: Smells rich, no throttle control even though the throttle mechanism at the carbs move freely and smoothly. Sometimes throttling will kill engine. Some fuel is being splashed around in the vacuum line (it's clear) even though I have it plugged at the end (due to using the auxillary tank)
Idles well, and can be adjusted well with idle screw
-----------------------
What I think are possible...
Tension Spring
Vacuum leak somewhere
The dark prince lives in my engine
My bike hates me and is telling me something
My karma of having horrible health insurance and a non-working bike, plus the fact my parents are pretty happy my bike isn't working
:willy_nilly:
Any suggestions from any of you who made it reading this far into my stupid squidly thread?
I'm going to try replacing the tensioner spring tommorow and then I'm gonig to kick my bike over and urinate on it if it doesn't work. :smt084
