How long did it sit? A good carb clean should help. + Replace the fuel filters with OEM type and fresh fuel and new plugs."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

By, "I can get it to fire up" I assume you mean it's difficult?Comment

Welcome to KR! Your carbs need cleaning. Take a look at the Katana Wiki at the top of the forum for instructions on cleaning carbs.sigpic Mulholland Hwy Ride

Be sure to inspect the fuel tank for corrosion while you're at it. If you don't, your clean carbs will get all fouled up again pretty quick.sigpic Mulholland Hwy Ride

Don't wanna sound like an ass (although I generally do), but no, they didn't. If you haven't stripped them down, the bits that matter are still dirty. It's more than a day's job because some soaking is involved.Originally posted by ultraflexxj View Post

It's the hard truth. I can tell you from my own recent first experience, beating around the bush will do you absolutely no good. Picked up my Pre-98 early August, the Previous Owner had them "Professionally Cleaned" in July with a receipt and all.Originally posted by TRPUT View Post
Looked perfectly spotless.
But the only thing that got my carbs running right was a proper jet setup and a proper cleaning.
Mikunki Carbs are often described as the Achilles Heel of these bikes, treat them as such. Consider doing a proper stip-down, rebuild if needed, and cleaning *including* soaking. I wasted about a week *not* doing it.Comment

cleaned all the passages not soaking and now the bike is running fine. on another note will a 00 750 kat motor fit in an 06 600 kat frame. went to register my 00 750 too much in back fees and now i picked up a 06 600 with a rod knock i was wondering if i could swap the 750 into the 600 frame with all the 750 rear shocks brakes and everythingComment
