I recently bought a 92 600f and I'm having problems with it starting and wont run for more then 20 sec when it does start. I got it running when I first bought it and was able to take it around the block. It was pretty slugish then but since wont start and backfires like theres no tomorrow. Any help as to where on this site I can find the most info would be great cause I am new to this site as well lol. Thanks

Welcome to KR. Click on the Katana Wiki link a the top of the page, and do a search there for "Carbs 101". That should help you sort out some issues you are having, and if not, at least it will eliminate the most common causes.Last edited by Psycho1; 03-02-2010, 01:06 AM.John,

Carbs 101....as already prescribed.
New spark plugs.
Check the airbox to make sure it's not full of gas / oil or other crap.
Check the air filter. Make sure the vent / drain line is hooked up to the air box...if not replace it.Comment

Another thing to check is turn the petcock all the way counter clockwise to the prinme position for about 30 seconds to a minute before trying to start the bike, and see if that changes anything. If it sems to start ok and runs better with the petcock set on prime, it could have a disconnected vacuum line from the far right hand side of carb 4 to the rear of the petcock, or the petcock itself may need rebuilding.John,

First of all THANK YOU guys for you help, I really appreciate it!!
When I bought the bike it didn't have a stock airbox it was runnin K&N's and needed to be re-jetted for them but it was cheaper to put a stock airbox back on it. I did that and it was clean and the air filter it came with looked pretty good but I'll pull that back apart to and check that out again. When it did start and run ok it was right after putting that airbox on and brand new plugs. After I posted the first thing I did some reading and checking out on this site and was reading about sport bikes (this is my 1st one) not wanting to start and run on SLIGHTLY fouled plugs and I was also reading about the petcock. All the stickers and stuff on the petcock are gone so I had no idea about the prime part of it so I'm betting I flooded it and caused the plugs to get wet and foul out so I'm going to start with those and the vac. line cause once again I have no idea what I'm doing at the moment and that was all new info as to where it comes from and go's.
I'm going to go check out that carbs 101 but any other info and / or ideas would be great! Thanks again!!Comment
