Hi, I just bought my first bike. 2002 Kat 600. It was running fine, buy Idled a little high. I adjusted the idle screw a little and it was fine. I put it away and now it will not start. It doesn't seem to be getting any fuel. Now its so far off I don't know where the idle should be. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Are you using choke to start it?Originally posted by jouwen116 View Post
Are you touching the throttle at all when you try to start it?
Is the battery fully charged and tested good?

The battery is good (In put it on the charger anyway) I tried with the choke on and off and with and without the throttle. It started fine before - choke, touch the starter and it fired right up! After I adjusted the idle it ran fine, it just doesnt seem to be getting any fuel nowComment

My first thought is not enough fuel, which means your carbs are probably dirty.
It could be a cold start issue with not enough power. You can check that by verifying your coils at the orange/white striped wire is getting over 11v when the starter is turning the motor over. If not, then you have an issue with power that needs resolved first.
