Hello KatRiders, brgaulin here, pretty new but I have a quick question.
At the end of last year I got myself a Katana. The guy who was working in it before I knew about it did some weird things to it and just wow. He had the coil wires wrong, carb is all messed up and many other things. Needless to say it didn't run.
After putting the cables on the spark plugs in the right order I could get it to start up, but it was running rough, like real rough. My choke wouldn't stay on unless I held the choke on the handlebar(cable is good), then it takes forever to warm up, like 10-15 minutes on choke. Then if I ride it, if I come to a stop sign it stalls on me unless I keep the throttle on. So lots of things going on, so I figured I want to overhaul these carbs and get the back up to snuff.
So yesterday, now that it is nice out, I pulled the carbs out and dismantled them. I found many o-rings that need replacing because they are cracking, and I am already on that. Also my air screws were 3-4 turns out each, so there is always that.
My question,
Should there be a vacuum line between carbs 3&4? And if not, what should I be doing with those vacuum lines. The manual isn't helping me too much with this.
