Good morning! I recently bought a 2004 Katana 600 with less than a thousand miles on it. You'll probably immediately realize that's a bad sign, as it's been sitting for more than 10 years. I can get it to turn over, but not to fire. I'll tell everybody what I did, and then what I would love to hear from somebody else is what I still need to do.i replaced the battery. I removed and cleaned the carburetor, cleaning all the Jets individually. I replaced the gas tank because it was very rusty inside. I replaced the petcock.(the carb bowls fill up with gas) I checked the plugs, each one needed to be cleaned but was producing spark by the time I was done. I replaced the fuel filter with a slightly smaller one. Now, what happens is the engine will turn over, fire intermittently, and backfire but never start. What am I missing? Btw, I also changed the oil and filter, but I don't think that's related. Lastly, I replaced the choke cable, which was frozen.
Thx for your help.
