Here is my 2006 600 with 12,7xx miles. This is the first bike with more than one carb I've ever worked on. Just got the bike finished a couple of weeks ago. I picked her up two weeks before Christmas barely running. Bike was running when I got to my friends place. Idle'd at 1.5k, and would not run without the choke, also wouldn't rev up above 3k without choke. Would not start at my place after letting it sit for 2 hours, was only a 5 min ride home.
Got her home and noticed the idle adjustment cable was off, and so the project began. Quick summary was I replaced the petcock, it was faulty. Cleaned carbs in chem dip for 48 hours on each bank. Installed K&L Carb rebuild kits, Factory Pro Jet Kit, and sold the K&N air filter for the OEM one.
After many trial/error sessions. Did I say many!, and a 1 mile walk home with the bike I finally conquered this beast.
Pics and part list is below, more was bought than just what's below, but that's the major stuff. Want to thank this forum and it's members for their tremendous amount of help.
