Howdy y'all, I just bought a '95 600, my first Katana. The bike sat for a couple years, I changed oil and gas but it still won't idle right. When I rev the engine it won't come back down below 3000 rpm unless I drag it down in gear. Then, it will only idle at less than 1000rpm (too low, right?)
When I fiddle with the idle speed screw I can't get the engine to stay anywhere between 1000 and 3000 rpm, it stays at one or the other, same if I try to use the throttle to bring it up just a little. Other than this, the engine runs great on the road, plenty of power, no surging or bucking. I assume this is a carb problem, can I expect this to go away on its own with a couple tanks of good gas or will this require pulling the carbs and doing a thorough cleaning. 'preciate any and all input
