Clean the carbs again, pay special attention to getting the float needles and seats clean and free of tarnish and debree buildup. Make sure the pilot jets and main jets are clear. Use a good spray carb cleaner and air, do not use a wire.

    Also make sure the float levels are set correctly.

How to fix starting pronlem
Hi , you need a full carb cleaning. Have them removed from the bike, desassemble and clean them ( ultrasound cleaning would be great) . Also replace the spark plugs (as you d'ont know their milleage).
Good work!!

Bike has been stored 3 months & now won't start & run.Appears to be flooding.Ran fine when parked.Pulled,drained tank,put in new gas,same results
Hi try draining the old fuel from the carbs their is a small drain screw on the bottom of each bowl, you may need to clean and dry the spark plugs because bad fuel won't evaporate.

Why FZR600 seems to lose two cylinders while driving, carb or spark problem?
if carbs are clean and not flooding etc then try finding out which cyls are off then swop plug caps over from good cyls and see if problem moves , if yes then fit a set of 4 new plug caps ! if no then do carbs again !!

My bike is hard to start battory is fine starter is ok altinater puttting out 14.4v ok but is very hard to start but when started it seams to run ok any awnsers
Assuming your bike has carbs, drain the carbs. Clean the air filter, install new spark plugs. don't go nuts twisting the throttle. Too much and the engine will flood.

Great acceleration at top end until after 10 15 miles and then around town-- get on throttle--seems to be not accelerating near as clean and motor sounds different--bike also starts without choke and needs...
Very possible, you may need to find out if one of the carbs is flooding or jets have been switched. Check plugs to find out rich cylinder, it will be black with soot and others clean. Also choke could be on all of the time. need to check cable and where it attaches to carbs to make sure full off position is achived.

Not sure what happened i started my 97 cbr600f3 ran it on choke for about 45 sec. it started to die,so i eased the choke off it died and havent been able to fire it up since.any suggestions
Remove plugs to see what colour they are. If sooty then too rich / clean / install.
If wet then flooded, dry refit.
If clean and dry, starving lack of fuel.

Keeps flooding
The carbs need a full cleaning....use piano wire of the right size for the jet holes.....Carb cleaner and compressed air to blow out the fragments.

When start bike up,it runs on 4 then onto 3 then 2 then cuts out.have stripped carbs rebuilt,balanced them.new plugs.runs fine till warm,think may be fuel problem. changed fuel tap.ballenced carbs with 2...
Are the cabies flooding or runing out of fuel? pull the choke on dose it help if it does low fuel.

Drain the bowls and see if there is plenty of fuel.....If its flooding turn the fuel off or block it when the engine starts to drop clys if it starts to pick up after 10secs or so the carbies are flooding
