Hi Everyone,
I am new here and i just bought my first bike last week. It is 1999 Suzuki Katana 600. All of the fairings were off and i tried to practice riding and i fell on left side of the bike due to sand being in parking lot. I noticed that i had gas leak from petcock after the crash. I drained the tank and removed the petcock and took if to my local SUzuki dealership. They replaced the 0 ring where leak was coming from. I installed petcock back on the bike and connected the gas hose and vacuum hose back on the bike. I started the bike with petcock being ON and using choke and i noticed that bike was running low on RPM around .500 I took bike for ride for like min or two everything was fine. I tried to start the bike again and it wasnt able to crank and i heard loud backfire and i decided to leave it alone.
HINTS:
I NO LONGER HAVE GAS LEAK!!!!
I NOTICED THAT GAS WORKS FINE/COMES OUT WHILE IN PRIME MODE. BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS WORKING FINE I AM NOT SURE IF GAS WORKS WHILE IN RESERVE OR ON MODE. IS MY PETCOCK BAD?
WHEN I WAS DRAINING THE GAS TANK I USED A PLASTIC MILK CARTON BUT I WASHED IT OUT VERY WELL AND I REUSED THIS GAS AFTER REINSTALLING PETCOCK AFTER I REPLACED O RING. IS THIS GAS BAD? WOULD IT WORK IF I DRAIN THIS GAS AND PUT NEW CLEAN 91 GAS IN?
CARBURATOR HAS BEEN CLEANED/REBUILT ABOUT 5K MILES AGO WHICH WAS 3 YEARS AGO.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP IF YOU HAVE ANY ANSWERS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME [email protected] OR CALL 515-423-1959 ANYTIME WITH SUGGUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
