I'm new to the bike thing and have found these things to be incredibly tempermental. That having been said, I've got a problem.
Here's the deal. 93 Kat 600. 6000 miles.
It has always ran like a charm since I bought it a little over a year ago until recent.
The problem came on fairly sudden. It will not idle. I smell gas when I do get it to run and if I choke it it wants to run at 5g, Half choked it flutters between 2500 and 3000. I have changed petcock, wires, plugs. Took out 5 degree and installed original signal generator.
Now on top of all that it's ticking rather loudly. I just now took off the plastics and did the spit test on the exhaust. All sizzle with the exception of #3.
I'm really going to have to tear into this thing and my question is as to what would be the wise way to proceed? What I mean is what should I check in order as I go along and does anyone care to venture a guess as to what I will find.
Ty for all replies.
