    Hey all,

    I've been scouting and reading the site here for a few weeks now, and thought I should say "hi". My bro picked up a 1990 GSX600F as a parts bike for $300 a couple of years ago. The previous owner had spray painted the frame and engine silver, and put camouflage duct tape on the tank and plastics! With a little tinkering, we got it running on the first day, but had trouble titling the bike - so it sat in my garage for 2 years. He decided he didn't want to mess with it anymore, so he gave it to me

    After getting the petcock back to working order, I've got it back up and running and am cleaning out the carbs - whole different world than the '73 gt380 I worked on a couple years ago! Anyway, I appreciate all your posts and advice. Looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels!

    Thanks!

                    Thanks guys! We got it fired up and running, but I'm getting a fuel leak from between carbs 1 and 2. I got them apart and cleaned them up, and they look good. A little rust from the rusty tank, but floats and gaskets in good shape. No sticky points...I plan to get into it again later tonight, but I suspect the fuel line. I hope it is that easy!

                      There are rubber seals between the fuel tubes and the carb bodies. Might as well order 4 of them from Bike Bandit before you even tear the carbs apart. Save some grief.
