I just bought a 2001 Katana. It is mint condition EXCEPT it has not been cranked in 2 or 3 years. I put in new plugs, oil, and gas. I can crank it with the throttle (now) and can drive it (now) but it still will not idle on its on. While riding, you have to keep the rpm's above 2000 or wit will go dead. When I first got it, it ran really rough. I have put a little more than a can of SeaFoam in it and have been riding it up and down my neighborhood to run it through the carbs(which Im sure the neighbors are loving...). I have held it steady at diff rpm's and also opened the carbs all the way up at times to let it work through. It has gotten much better but still will not idle on its own and must use the choke to crank it at times.
Should I keep running SeaFoam thru it or just get the carbs cleaned??? or is there something else someone can suggest??
Thanks in advance..
